Another Visit to Sebberup

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…

Start of Dragonfly Season 2023

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.…

Autumn has arrived and soon this years dragonfly season will be over. When out dragonfly hunting the most frequent encounters are now hawkers like Aeshna cyanea, Aeshna grandis and Aeshna mixta and darters like Sympetrum vulgatum, Sympetrum…

More Photos of Ophiogomphus cecilia

Had another trip to Resenbro at Gudenåen to photograph Ophiogomphus cecilia. Like last time, I quickly spotted several Ophiogomphus cecilia flying around but this time they behaved differently. Instead of perching on the vegetation next…

Photographing Ophiogomphus cecilia

Late summer has been really good in Denmark this year with many warm and sunny days. Last week I took advantage of this and drove to a for me familiar location, but one I haven't visited for several years. It's right next to the river Gudenåen…

This time of year Aeshna grandis is very abundant and can be seen gliding down forest glades or patrolling over gravel roads, paths and lakes. Even though it is a common species here in Denmark I actually don't have that many photos of it,…

Photographing Aeshna isoceles – Once Again

This weekend I was once again out in the nice summer weather photographing Aeshna isoceles. It's a waiting game photographing this dragonfly as it spends most of the time flying around hunting for insects and chasing off other dragonflies.…

I paid yet another visit to Sebberup, this time in the late afternoon driving home from work. Sun was shining but it was also quite windy, so I found a good calm spot next to one of the lakes and waited patiently with my camera. A handful…
