It looks like a Variable Damselfly to me Nick (Female).
I have not seen them at MSQ before?
Nick Clayton   [May 19, 2008 at 09:10 AM]
Thanks for that Alan, I must admit I thought it looked similar to the female Variable you posted.

Well done Nick,not bad for a beginner!It is definately a female Variable due to the distinct shape of the pronotum,the shape of the abdominal markings and the slight bar between the eye-spots,will post a picture of a female 'blue form' Azure for comparison. Very Happy

Thanks for the prompt reply Steve, is this a first for MSQ then?

Lets hope that someone can find a male variable,it would be a shame if this was the only one.

All images on the Wildlife Album are taken in Lincolnshire, for further information on Lincolnshire Birds, see http://www.lincsbirdclub.co.uk . The terms of the Wildlife and Countryside Act must be observed and licences obtained to photograph Schedule 1 species from the appropriate Statutory Nature Conservation Agency. The Lincsbirds photo Album does not encourage images of rare birds taken at the nest or with young - a copy of the appropriate licences must be available, otherwise your image will be removed.

The Bird Club was formed in 1979, to encourage and further an interest in the bird life, birding and birdwatching of the historic county of Lincolnshire, to collect and publish information on bird movements and bird populations, bird taxonomy, bird status, to encourage conservation of the wildlife of the county of Lincolnshire and to provide sound information on which bird conservation policies can be based.

Joining the Bird Club is a great way to make new birdwatching friends and contacts in Lincolnshire! If you are a "beginner", but keen to become actively involved in birding, you will find that learning about your county's wild birds - how, when and where to see them - is both easier and more enjoyable when undertaken in the company of our local enthusiasts. If you're already an active birdwatcher you can add another dimension to your birding by becoming involved in our varied local activities.
