Spent Sunday out one of the local nature reserves; South Norwood Country Park in South East London.
A great place to visit with a variety of habitats, it's a place I regularly visit but this was the first time I have managed to photograph a damselfly there.

I recently added a pond to the back garden and have been lucky enough to get some visitors including a pair of Large Red Damselfiles.
