Dave the Ruddy Darter has a clubbed tail, it looks like it has been pinched half way down. What you have there is a a Red Veined Darter, a scarce migrant to our shores, but fairly common in southern Europe. The 2nd one does look like a Keeled Skimmer in that image

I would every day of the week and twice on Sunday .... brilliant dance record. -
Probably because this site does not have the Canon software to enable the auto rotate, you need to rotate them manually and save them as a jpeg in portrait orientation.

Steve are you struggling to keep it upright these days

Did you lie down to take that last one Steve

Here are a couple of male Ruddy Darters. I had one of these land on my shoulder a few years ago, I was stood in the amongst the reeds hoping a Kingfisher would land on a perch out in front of me, when one just came and joined me. It's like tales from the riverbank somedays on here
-
It looks like a female, and if it has a yellowish stripe on each leg it is a Common Darter.
-
Now these are stunning to watch flying around, in the air they look a blue colour, but when perched you can see that they are a metallic blue-green colour depending how the light catches them. There were two males and occasionally a female flying around above a small pool of water behind the valve house of the dam. Male Banded Demoiselle

Sorry to break up the reminiscing chaps, I was sat having a rest when this battle damaged lady landed about 8ft away. Female Black Tailed Skimmer

JM would have got £500 for it

Pretty good Gene. I played it at Winsford a few years back, quite a few people asked me what it was, including a couple of DJ's, went down well, as it should it is a great dance record.
-
It was a long time ago Gene, in a record box at a nighter, I was sure it looked like my real one, only a red colour ... but I could be wrong. I played "The Light of Day" at Radcliffe a couple of months back, great tune

I have seen a red coloured look alike Prophonics boot, about 20 years ago, but that is the only one I have seen

A couple of Southern Hawkers The more colourful male The less brightly coloured female

A female Banded Demoiselle from this morning Nearly the perfect flight shot

I put everything down to old age now Dave ... simpler and less complicated

His instructions on how to set up Nikon off camera flash are the only ones I have ever read that A - make sense, and B - actually work Irrelevant footnote ... his daughter was born on my 50th birthday
-
I thought I had found a new species of butterfly, until I realised it was just an extremely faded and beat up Ringlet
-
Been a while since I did a niter .... a few years now .... anyway I can't remember them after I have had a nap
-
Russell a useful source of info on Nikon cameras is Ken Rockwell LINK He can be a bit fickle, and is not universally liked, however his guides to setting up the various Nikon cameras are written in plain English and tend to be easier to follow than the Nikon manuals. Just ignore his love of the 'Vivid' picture settings, especially for wildlife stuff.
-
There are only around 40 species that breed in the UK, and a few of those are only found in a few isolated areas, so it is not too difficult to remember them.
-
It looks like a female Broad Bodied Chaser ... lovely pose for you
