Things are fairly quiet at the marsh these days - as far as the waterfowl goes, anyway. But it won't be long before we'll be seeing new families appear. However, the insect population is very much in evidence, what with all the damp weather we've been having. Disturbing the vegetation releases clouds of tiny midges and other winged insect life. Yesterday I noticed that the damselflies have hatched, including the bluet shown here. They are a challenge to photograph without a macro lens, since they don't possess much mass to focus on.
