"Highland" type of Common Darter. Time is wrong here - should be 11:18 a.m.

1) UK name for this is White-faced Darter; 2) time is wrong here, should be 11:23 AM

1) Terrible photo, but hopefully you get the general idea; 2) time here is wrong, should be 1:34 PM

Notes: 1) Pool near Loch Garten. 2) The UK name for this species is Northern Damselfly. 3) The time listed here is wrong - should be 12:22 PM

Time recorded here is wrong - should be 12:47 PM

1) I'd call it a Skimmer here at home, but of course they'd call it a Chaser there; 2) Time here is wrong; should be 1:51 PM

Really happy to see this today - haven't seen them there for a couple of years
