KEITH BROOMFIELD: Damselflies bring colour to Strathspey By Keith Broomfield
Damselfly
The lochs and lochans scattered across the wildwoods of Strathspey are sparkling, silvery oases where ospreys soar high above in the sky and dragonflies and damselflies flit by their boggy margins.
On a recent visit to
Rothiemurchus Forest near Aviemore, I took the popular tourist path along the edge of Loch an Eilein, before veering off to embark upon a circuit of the smaller and more tranquil Loch Gamhna.
Here, iridescent common blue and large red damselflies skimmed the water edges on weak and fluttering wings.
