May and June 2023 – Some Great Dragonfly Months

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…

All Sunny Days

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…

New Photos of Orthetrum coerulescens

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…

A Visit to Ryebro

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…

Photos of new species added to the gallery

There are still several dragonfly species which I have not been able to photograph yet, either because they are very rare in Denmark or because their habitats are located far from where I normally go dragonfly hunting. This week, I decided…
