Damselfly hatches
An extremely exciting event occurred, this one in the small observation tank. I happened to glance in and saw a speedy darting creature. It looked pretty well formed and I realised it had nothing to climb out onto! I filmed it as well as best I could.
So, i put in a bamboo pole in case it needed to get out, which it did, within a very short time.
I was then rooted to the spot for as long as could (dinner got in the way), but I stayed for much of the transformation.
It was pretty awesome to watch.
Beautiful.
And quite a special thing to witness.

Large Red Damselfly
My previous garden (by about 4), had a small well established pond and beautiful mature garden bringing in so much wildlife it was amazing to me. During the spring damselflies were appearing everyday as well as dragonflies. It took me a few days to realise they were emerging from the pond! I’ll do another post of one I caught in the act – quite a sight I must say. This one stopped for a mini photo shoot.

Male Blue-tailed Damselfly
This wonderful insect flew into the garden a couple of years ago and settled on my then growing green beans plant and sticks. And sat there for a little while, enough time to get my camera and take photos! I always feel lucky when nature visit, but extra lucky when it lets me take pictures 🙂
