Odonata (6):WWT Llanelli ... again

There was rather a different selection of Damselflies from my previous visit some days ago. In terms of colour, there were blues and greens but no reds on this occasion. Shades of grey and brown seemed quite commonplace. I am attempting to identify the creatures, but am still feeling very much a Damselfly novice! As ever, any help on this front would be appreciated!

Great selection Caroline. In my experience Damselflies are a bit of a black art, especially as when they first emerge they can be a completely different colour to their final markings. They may account for some of the more subdued colours that you have here
