Common Blue Damselflies

I have only seen these at a reservoir near Kirton Creek and they appear significantly smaller than the Azure and difficult to focus on (was trying all last year with no success; I recall females very much lighter in colour)

I hope they can tell who is male and who female, because I can't!
