It rarely happens but today I was lucky to spot and photograph a to me new dragonfly species: Crocothemis erythraea There are still several species which I have not been able to photograph yet either because they are very rare here in Denmark or because their habitats are located far from where I live, so […]
May 2024 has almost passed and it has been a relative warm and sunny month, so great for hunting dragonflies. I have mostly been visiting the local lakes at Sebberup watching the early season dragonfly species emerge quite rapidly within a few weeks due to the warm weather. As usual Pyrrhosoma nymphula and Cordulia aenea […]
Spring has been cold and wet this year but finally as May has arrived so has the sunny and warm weather. Even though it is early in the season I went out with my camera today hunting dragonflies for the first time this year, and it did not take long before I spotted a few Pyrrhosoma […]
May and June 2023 have passed and they stand out as exceptional warm and sunny months with many great dragonfly photography trips. I have mostly spent time at my local dragonfly spot Sebberup but also visited a few other locations. Because of the great weather many of the early dragonfly species have been very abundant […]
The weather continues to be warm and sunny here in Denmark and three weeks have passed with no rain at all. So, it is getting pretty dry out there in nature, but still perfect conditions for dragonfly hunting, and I have taken every opportunity I have had to get out there with my camera. I […]
A few days ago I visited a for me new location called Baldersbæk with the specific purpose to photograph the in Denmark relatively rare Orthetrum coerulescens and the more common Leucorrhinia dubia. I only spotted one Leucorrhinia dubia which I wasn’t able to photograph, but it turned out that Orthetrum coerulescens was actually quite abundant at this […]
The weather has been very sunny and dry for several weeks now here in Denmark and it looks like it will stay so for a while. Perfect conditions for dragonfly hunting, so I took a day off from work, grabbed my camera and drove to Ryebro. This is a beautiful location I visit every year […]
Another warm and sunny May weekend meant another visit to the lakes at Sebberup. Compared to just a week earlier Cordulia aenea had become even more abundant. They were everywhere, many of them resting in the vegetation. Also Libellula quadrimaculata was quite numerous and I expect even more will emerge in the coming days. I […]
This weekend I had the chance to go out dragonfly hunting for the first time this season and went by Sebberup, a location I know very well. Spring has been quite sunny and cold, but during the first weeks of May it has finally got warmer. Turned out this season was already well under way […]
