I took a stroll around WWT Llanelli in the late afternoon sunshine, and was delighted to watch my first
Dragon- and Damsel-flies of the season, which I have posted below. I am finding blue Damselflies particularly hard to identify!
Incidentally, my last 2010 sightings are
here.

P.S. My thanks to Neil - see his comment below and help with identification. I can now see those hairs!

Wow nice haul of odonata! Im yet to see any!
Ive had a crack at IDs:
Your hawker is the hairy hawker/dragonfly
The middle blue damsel may be a common blue damselfly and the other 2 look like azure damselflies
What amazing photos! The leaves are the perfect new Spring green and you spotted so many dragon and damselflies. Terrific!
