And finally Dragon and Damselflies. Just before I left I decided that I should get the guide to Dragonflies and Damselflies of Europe because the Camargue is such a good spot for them, and as a result I paid more attention to them. In the Camargue, there were loads of Red-veined Darters, a few Lesser Emperors, both Black and White-tailed Skimmers and a few of these very spectacular Scarlet Darters. They were a very very bright red.

Here's a male Lesser Emperor dragonfly, looks like it's got a pretty good meal!

Also, among the very common Blue-tailed and Small Red-eyed Damsels there were a few of these White Featherlegs.
