Field Notes

Description:

While I was watched a spider catching and eating a blue damselfly (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6860920) this other damselfly was having a fly for lunch on a reed not even 20 inches further away.
Nature at it's best.

Habitat:

The Common blue damselfly is a species of damselfly found in most of Europe. It is remarkable for its distinctive black and blue colouring.
