a widespread and common red damselfly Adult flight period extends from late April to August. Pyrrhosoma nymphula is the earliest Odonata species on the wing, appearing in warm Springs in late April. It is found in most habitats except for the most exposed sites. It has a preference for small acidic pools and is able to persist on many very dry sites that have become unsuitable for other Odonata. It is also quick to colonise newly created ponds. Shot with 420mm Macro, so the background is nicely blurred.

Paul, really thought its name was dragonfly ('waterjuffer' in Dutch), but reading your interesting narrative see now that's a pyrrhosoma nymphula or damsel (just a 'juffer' in Dutch), lol.
Your image is a perfect one again!
Regards, Cornelius.
