Damsel fly

Volunteering today. Did the garden then cut back some of the willow as it was restricting the view down to the loch from the visitor's centre. I was a source of amusement to the staff at the reserve as I went to cut the willow back (having been told to put on wellies) I went down into a ditch and immediately found the wellies had a faulty sole and my feet were soaking and had almost disappeared from view. However I managed to cut most of it.

There were quite a few damsel flies and small tortoiseshell butterflies about. I did see a couple of butterflies that were black underneath that I guess were red admirals.
