The Common Blue Damselfly, as its name suggests is probably the Commonest, and certainly the most widespread, of the similar ‘blue’ damselflies that can be found in the UK. They are all similar in appearance with only subtle variations in pattern and arrangement of black and Blue bands differentiating the species.
I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
