Imago. Male. Granathøj.
A lifer. Unmistakable when seen like this. Only found this individual. During a period with very hot southeastern winds.

Imago. Male. The tip of the peninsula, at the edge of the waterhole south of the road just below Naturskolen.

I had been occupied by a Blue-eyed Hawker when I suddenly spotted this animal on the ground. There were several darters around, but I had just taken them for Ruddys, since that's what the ones I checked were. To say that I might have overlook more of this and similar species. Even though it generally is scarce in Denmark. I lost it when it flew up.

An immature male. Cool to see how the yellow wing patch is transmitted onto the ground below it.
Happy Birding
