Banded Demoiselle at Grantchester

It was very hot and sunny at Grantchester this morning, but the weather brought out the demoiselles in plenty.    Damselflies and dragonflies are never easy to photograph, especially in flight, but it did prove easier to capture the Banded Demoiselle than the Brown Darter which eluded me!   Would a different lens from the 100-400mm have made life easier?!

Spotting the male Banded Demoiselle against the dark green water was easier than the female so it was a pleasant surprise when some of the photographs included the female too.
