The Downy Emerald (Cordulia aenea) is a fairly localised species and can be quite tricky to get close to. On a lightly overcast day with sunny spells, I spotted this male settled in the bracken and as the sun came back out, it looked up to show its sparkling green eyes and preened itself before taking flight.
