Around three days after my first visit to Sebberup this year, I went by there again to see if more dragonflies had emerged. This time there were a lot more Pyrrhosoma nymphula and Cordulia aenea. I also spotted a few Coenagrion pulchellum. Especially Cordulia aenea seems to be very abundant this year. More photos have […]
April has been really warm and sunny this year, so I have just been waiting for the first dragonflies to emerge. I was out looking once in late April but without any success. Went out again today to an area called Sebberup with several smaller lakes. In a sunny spot sheltered from the wind I […]
Shortly after my first ever encounter with Sympetrum fonscolombii, I drove to another lake close to where I live. Here I spotted several small red dragonflies clearly looking like Sympetrum but behaving differently than I am used to. They were very shy and moved around a lot, making it really difficult to get close to […]
It does not happen often that I get to photograph a new dragonfly species, but this year the Sympetrum fonscolombii has been relatively abundant. This is probably due to a larger migration from the south. It is normally a rare species here in Denmark. I managed to photograph a single female at one of my […]
This year the first half of May has been a lot colder than usual, but despite this the first damselflies started to show end April and beginning May. I have been out with the camera a couple of times now, visiting the nearby location Randalparken. At my first visit I only spotted a few Pyrrhosoma […]
I have started exploring a local spot called Randalparken not far from where I live. I have visited it before in the past years and it is inhabited by several different dragonfly species including the relatively rare Lestes viridis. This year the spring and early summer have been perfect with a lot of sun and […]
It has almost been like summer here in Denmark for several days now, with very sunny and warm weather. So, I have been visiting Rands Fjord a couple of times during the last days. At my first visit I only spotted a few Pyrrhosoma nymphula, but when I came back three days later both Cordulia […]
Many new species of dragonflies and damselflies are emerging right now as the weather becomes warmer and summer comes closer. Another trip to Rands Fjord and several Libellula depressa were now to be seen. Libellula depressa looks sort of a big wasp or bee (especially the female), with its yellowish broad abdomen, and its wings […]
Yesterday, I drove by Rands Fjord to see if more dragonfly species had emerged. There wasn’t much sun and the wind was quite strong, so not the best conditions for photographing dragonflies. Still, I spotted a few Cordulia aenea, and many Pyrrhosoma nymphula and Coenagrion pulchellum. I also got a few photos which have been […]
This weekend I went out to my favorite local dragonfly location Rands Fjord, hoping to spot the first dragonflies and damselflies of this season. The spring has been very cold and windy, so my expectations were not that high. However, I was lucky to find the first few specimens of Pyrrhosoma nymphula and also got […]
