Clunton Coppice - Beautiful Demoiselle

One thing the plantation clearing has done is reveal a lot of habitat which clearly suit resting Beautiful Demoiselle! They were secreted in the grassy bank amongst brambles and nettles but once disturbed or with the sun peeking through, they would disappear to feed amongst the nearby tree canopy...
