I was told that the female of the blue tailed one could be various colours which makes it even more tricky.

We have a canal that runs through Fleet, and I sometimes see swarms of Damselflies on it, and occasionally a Dragonfly. I can't say what types though because I have never studied them in detail. There is a lot of info on the internet isn't there? I wish I had more time to use it.
