damsels and dragons
wings crackle then dart away
red and blue shimmers
The pond over in the moors had little electric blue damselflies flitting about on it. Also bigger chunkier red dragonflies (or possibly another species of damselfly – I’m no expert I’m afraid, much as I’d like to learn more about them, but they move so fast so I couldn’t get pics!). When their wings beat you can hear them crackle or clap before they dart off at seemingly impossible speed. They are pretty beefed up power wise for their size. This is their season, they’ll become more and more prevalent for the rest of the summer.
