Banded Demoiselle - Darley Bridge

Saw this lone male Banded Demoiselle by the cricket ground at Darley Bridge this morning. This appears to be as far north up the Derwent that they occur, locally at least. 
They are surely the most striking of the dragonflies that occur in the area.

    I've seen them up above Rowsley by the Derbyshire Wye. Here's a snap and a story from 2010: https://www.flickr.com/photos/regular_rod/4694830460/in/photolist-89SewL

    Thanks Rod, that's interesting so they are further north than I thought.
