Visiting Jenskær, a very beautiful location, I shot some photos of the Cordulegaster boltoni, a very large and majestic dragonfly. For the first time I also managed to photograph the female, which is very similar to the male, but even larger. The photos have been added to the gallery.
I have visited the area around Brude Sø several times during the last month, and been lucky to shoot a lot of good photos of the Gomphus vulgatissimus, which have now been added to the gallery. At my first visit back in mid May the species had just emerged, with bright yellow and black body […]
Near the location of Brude Sø, I shot some photos of the two species Orthetrum cancellatum and Libellula depressa. Especially for the Orthetrum cancellatum it was very difficult to get close enough to get a good photograph. Every time I was almost ready to take the shot, it just flew and landed a few meters […]
Dragonfly season 2014 has started, actually over a month ago, which is pretty early compared to last year. So I have of course been out hunting dragonflies with my new camera several times already. My trips have mainly been to the location Brude Sø, with the mission to shoot some photos of the species Gomphus […]
The website www.fugleognatur.dk and “Naturhistorisk Museum” (Natural History Museum) have started an interesting project with the aim to map the spread of damselflies and dragonflies in Denmark. This will provide a basic knowledge of where in the Denmark the species are found, what habitats they are found in and at what time of year they are […]
Visited the location Svanemosen once again this Friday. Right now I am taking advantage of every sunny day as this years dragonfly season is nearing its end. The many hours of walking around with the camera paid off. I managed to get some photos of both male and female Aeshna subarctica, which have now been […]
After spending several hours walking around in high grass and on marshy ground, I was for the first time able to get close enough to a resting Aeshna juncea to photograph it. New photos of the species Sympetrum sanguineum, Sympetrum danae and Sympetrum vulgatum have also been added to the gallery.
Another amazing video of a nymph to adult dragonfly transformation, this time the Cordulegaster boltoni.
Found this amazing video showing the transformation of a Ophiogomphus cecilia from nymph to adult dragonfly.
The Ophiogomphus cecilia (or Grøn Kølleguldsmed in Danish) is in my opinion one of the most amazing and beautiful dragonflies living here in Denmark. It is relatively rare here, and also listed as a protected species under Article 17 of the EU Habitats Directive. Its preferred habitat is larger rivers, and it can be found […]
