Lestes plagiatus
The Common or Highland Spreadwing.
This is a male, and the superior anal appendages are characteristic for the species, being prong shaped with a single prominent tooth.
I have added these pictures of the bronze form. It is parasitised by mites. I don't know if the mites affect the colour of the damselfly.
