Glad you enjoyed the day Graham. Wow! Top damselfly photo there, not such an "attempt" - head through to tail in focus!  Aren't they wonderful creatures?
I was photographing a Willow Emerald yesterday in a huge bush of nettles

It appeared to work quite well 

Could have done without the downpour  , but it cheered up later and turned out to be a fine day.
Maybe next summer we can manage something similar to catch the meadow flowers and more flutterbies and dragonflies etc. Unfortunately, events were against me around that time.

The turnout was great and the staff there did a fab job preparing info and giving us the talk. Not bad for a first attempt
