Small Red-eyed Damselfly at the Farm lake . Apart from obvious size difference , identified by blue on underside of the segment , immediately in front of the all blue one .
Also at the Farm lake , two Black-tailed Skimmers , in the ring . Only problem , both are in male colours . I also have a shot of the female (male) , ovipositing . Will have to contact someone regarding this pair .
In an outhouse at my Warden's place , found this large moth , caught up in spiders webs . I 
didn't recognise it at first , but when it closed it's wings , it was easier . I placed the Buff Tip outside in the log store , to await evening .
Also found this Light Emerald , with blood red spots on the angles of the wings . Some of the species , like this one , also have red line joining the two spots along the back of the fore and hind wings .
Another that I think I have identified , is this Scalloped Oak . Dun-bar.
But am going to need some help with this one , Dean . Engrailed .
Help also needed please with this colourfully winged insect . Six Belted Clearwing .Shouldn't have attempted the Scalloped Oak , as that was incorrect .
The correct identifications are in green below each shot . Many thanks to Dean / DDD for puttings things right , again . Also Mike Easterbrook , Kent Butterfly Recorder , for emailing the identification of the Clearwing .
Also thanks to Davo / L&LOAWS , for his attempt and getting the family right with the Clearwing , which was a lot better than I did .

Hi Greenie - my money's on a worn Twin Spot Carpet and a Hornet Clearwing.
Hope I'm right
Cheers

You're sliding into the moths Greenie - slowly but surely :-)
Greenie, the moths in order of appearance are Dun-bar, Engrailed (a very variable species) & Six-belted Clearwing.
Davo ,
Thanks for your attempt .
Warren ,
Carol says I can't do moths , as she sees so little of me now !
Dean ,
The man ! Thanks again .

All I have to do now is get a moth book, any ideas Fred?
