One of the few times I had no camera ..... of course ;)
I went to turn off our pump on the riverbank .It was a nice warm and sunny late afternoon, quandong trees and their flowers were full of bees/wasps/flies and other insects.whistling kites glided overhead,and little wrens were busy in the bushes.
I noticed 5 or 6 damselflies very close,they kept lighting on twigs and perching there near me .I had one hand up to brush aside a branch..when it happened - one perched on my thumb! I couldn't believe it :) he was there for some seconds..then he flew off- only to return almost immediately..followed by another, which perched on a finger!
So I am standing , amazed, with two absolutely gorgeous Orange Threadtails on my hand .
Speechless.
They stayed put for about a minute ... then off they went, up into the sunlight :)
There is magic around ...and sometimes us mere mortals get a sprinkle :D
