The Photos Of Roy Cunningham

This is about as close as I managed to get to a common blue damselfly (Enallagma cyathigerum) at Cors Erddreiniog Nature Reserve near Capel Coch on the island of Anglesey. They seemed very wary and flew off at the slightest movement. For this shot, I tried to be less threatening to the damselfly by lying prone on the boardwalk that stretches through the reedbeds!
