Small Red-eyed Damselflies

A couple of records from the last few weeks (apologies for the late posting, due to the website update):

From Andy Mackay:

Second-hand report, but probably reliable: a friend of Caroline Dudley (co-author of the new dragonfly book) saw a male Small Red-eyed Damselfly on Lagoon II some time over the weekend of the 18th-19th August (and photographed it apparently, but I haven't seen the photo).

There's also a photo of a Small Red-eyed at RW (doesn't say exactly where) on John Wright's blog, and I finally saw one there on August 25th.

From Dave Scott:

Newton Croft Farm Lake, Newton Harcourt 7th August:
Small Red-eyed Damselfly: 3 ovipositing pairs plus three males.
Good numbers of Red-eyed, Blue-tailed and Common Blue Damselflies, ovipositing Emperor, Black-tailed Skimmer and Common Darter
