Banded Demoiselles

Living in Lesbury I spend a lot of time near the Aln and I remember George mentioning in one of his blogs last year that the had seen BDs near Bilton Mill

As this is where I walk regularly I have been looking for signs of them for several weeks

I came across 3 males on June 18th - but subsequently I have only ever seen a single individual male at any one time

I finally came across a female on July 7th but the male seems to have gone missing - not before posing for the camera - enjoy!
