A caged squirrel and other sightings from nature


I recently acquired two more squirrel proof feeders (at considerable cost) and they have been working well until today!

As an antidote to marking I had a walk round Thorpe Acre trail and found these 'things' which are awaiting identification. Is this a butterfly or moth?

Well actually I am pretty sure this is a damselfly of some sort

and I would call this a dragonfly.
This picture is from a week ago from the woods behind the house.
After checking with a couple of other people
we have decided that this delights in the name of the
"Silver-Ground Carpet Moth"

Is the dragonfly a "Four Spotted Chaser"?
