Navigation: wildlife > odonata > damselflies             There are few Damselflies in this part of the world and at the time of writing cannot recall if I have seen the Emerald in the Goyt Valley. They certainly surround the Goyt Valley and are surprisingly hardy, despite being delioate. If I have not recorded any of the species on the first line, that does not mean they are not there. The second line is not an impossible ambition. I would expect to see the Banded Demoiselle but they tend to be localised and again favour fresh water. Entries in italicised typeface include video.   Common Blue Blue-tailed Azure Large Red Emerald* Banded Demoiselle* Red-eyed*         * Declaration: Not yet seen or heard of in the Goyt Valley. There are others but I will not mention them without reasonable cause. It is not an unrealistic expectation that first two of the last three above might appear.         Common Blue Damselfly: June 14th.   Top
