I’ve added a couple of new photos of Downy Emerald – Cordulia aenea taken on a recent trip to Sandhouse Lane NR, near Leighton Buzzard

DownyEmeralds are fast flyers, don’t settle for long, and can be a challenge to photograph – but they are worth the effort and are striking in appearance, their metallic green body is very apparrent as they twist and turn in flight.
