2023-06-04 Tamosen (Suserup), Denmark Imago ♂ Drier and warmer conditions than when I was here two years ago probably made the numbers smaller and the overall experience less magical. |

2023-07-14 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark Imago ♂ Hejresøen. Congratulations! Dragonfly-species number 29 on Amager for me! Out of the blue, and not the species I would have expected as the next one. However, checking naturbasen, there have been several single observations during the last years, why it has little sensational value, except for me. Taking the Black Darters into considerations too, that I saw today, perhaps the southern wind has brought them in from further south? Rare |
