My recent visits to the local lakes have been focused on photographing Anax imperator. It is a large and beautiful dragonfly, distinguished by its vibrant blue and green coloration. Although it is not as abundant as Aeshna grandis and Aeshna cyanea at these lakes, it is often present but in smaller numbers. The males spend […]
July is almost over, and it has been a very warm, dry, and sunny month. Unfortunately, I have not had as much time or motivation to go out photographing dragonflies as I would have liked. Still, I have had a few trips, especially recently, visiting my local lakes for some good dragonfly photos which have […]
I started this year’s dragonfly season a little late, visiting my local spot at the end of May. The weather was really sunny and warm in April, but that was a little too early for dragonfly spotting. It then changed for the worse, but the second half of May saw an early arrival of summer. […]
May of 2025 has passed and looking back it has been a quite good dragonfly month, or at least the first two-three weeks were until the weather turned for the worse and got colder and rainier. The warm dry weather in early May kickstarted the season with a rapid emergence of all the early species […]
April has been relatively sunny and warm this year, except around Easter time where it was cold, windy and rainy. Today, it was all sun and clear sky however, so I grabbed my camera for the first time this year and went dragonfly hunting at my local spot. Didn’t take long before I spotted a […]
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 […]
