Banded Demoiselle

Pete,

The Banded Demoiselle is one of only 2 damselfly species with coloured wings in the UK. It is a common species found in England and Wales and is mostly found along slow-running streams and rivers in lowland areas. The males are territorial but in good habitat large groups can be found in a single location.

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.
