Hi Ken - this is a pair of Wandering Ringtails. A slightly unusual location too; I know there is a bit of a seepage there but it is often dry. Are the coordinates taken as metadata from the camera or did you input the location yourself?

Thanks Harvey, the location is within a couple of metres and taken with a garmin GPS then input afterwards into the exif data. I find these small blue damselflies a bit confusing to identify at times without a specimen.
