Common Blue Damselfly

A warm but grey start to the day perfect weather for a bit of work on the allotment.  After lunch it brightened up and we all decided to go for a short walk on Aylesbeare Common.  I had my camera, my husband his binoculars and our son was just enjoying the scenery and wildlife.  We found some dragon flies and damselflies as well as a few butterflies including Meadow Browns and a female Brimstone.  Revisiting the area where several orchids were spotted awhile ago I was surprised at how many more there were now.  I thought for a minute a bee was feeding on a small one but now I think it must be a Hoverfly, see extras.
