Thanks to Jeremy Dexter and Mike Flemming for providing the ID for this tiny insect - photo below! There were plenty of them at Cothill Fen today.

There were also 3 Keeled Skimmers and c. 10 Small Red Damselflies present.

    I think it is a leafhopper Cicadella. It has bristles on the back legs.
