Large red damselfly

A great image of one of Parklea's visitors. After taking the shot, the participants did a bit of research and discovered that you can tell the difference between a damsel and a dragon fly by looking at the way they hold their wings when not flying. Dragonflies hold their wings out to the side whilst the damselfly's wings will be held closed behind them, as in the pic. This info will be shared on information boards which those doing their John Muir Award are also involved with.
