p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Willow Emerald Damselflies

These were flying at a large pond in a local nature reserve two days ago. It was a warm, sunny day.

This species repeatedly perched on leaves of a small willow tree close to the water and was quite tolerant of my closeness.

The first four are at f8, the other two at f11.

Olympus EM-1 (aperture priority), Olympus 4/3 x2 TC, Olympus 4/3 50mm f2 macro, ISO 640, hand-held.

I have prepared crosseye and conventional stereos which will be uploaded tomorrow.

I don't recall ever seeing a damselfly's eyes quite so clearly captured.

Excellent series.

Thanks, Birdie. I have been advised that some of them may be Willow Emeralds, a species spreading across the county but not recorded at this reserve.

Thanks. Some other members here are rather good at it.

Thanks, Brian.

I was having doubts about my identification at the same pond in July 2019 but here is a definite Common Emerald from that session. I have edited the title of this discussion.
