Every time I report Beautiful Demoiselles in my garden I am told it is scarce in the South West, with the field guide showing it no further west than Hampshire. First found down the Weymouth Road three years ago it is now a frequent visitor to the village and seen almost daily. It only breeds in running water so likely to be working its way up the South Winterborne rather than breeding in my small pond. Three of the bright, metalic blue males were present in my very overgrown front garden today, as also was a single Southern Hawker Dragonfly. These rarely settle so no picture I am afraid.
