Photos of New Species Added to the Gallery

It does not happen often anymore that I am adding photos of a new species to the gallery. Not because I already have photographed all the Danish species of Odonata. Actually, out of the 69 species listed here on Odonata.dk there are still 29…

New Photos of Sympetrum flaveolum

For a long time I have only had one not very good photo of the Sympetrum flaveolum. Even though it should be a relatively common species in Denmark, I have not spotted it at any of the locations I have visited during the last 2 to 3 years. Then…

Visit to Jenskær

About a week ago I took advantage of one of the few days this season with real summer weather and visited the location Jenskær. This is a very beautiful place, just south of the city of Silkeborg, with both a lake, a small spring and a stream,…

More Photos of Aeshna isoceles

A few days ago I was lucky to spot the Aeshna isoceles for the second time this year at my favorite location Rands Fjord. I found it resting in the sun, clinging on to a small branch, and it did not seem to be camera shy at all. So I was able…

New Photos of C. pulchellum, P. nymphula and C. aenea Added.

Yesterday I was lucky to get some more photos of the Anax imperator, including a mating wheel, which have now been added to the gallery.

More Photos of the Beautiful Ophiogomphus Cecilia

I have visited the location Resenbro several times this summer, every time with the goal to shoot some photos of one of my favourite odonates, the Ophiogomphus cecilia. The abundance of Ophiogomphus cecilia seems to vary a lot at this location.…
