2022-07-24 Kalvebod Fælled, Amager, Denmark Imago. Female. I think it is a female because of the vaguely colored rim markings. The base color looks rather dark and intense, but its probably the light that does it. |

2022-11-05 Kongelundsområdet, Denmark Imago. Male. Skovfogedmarken. A fresh male flying and resting in the warm sun. I'm not sure if they keep flying by their own initiative at this time of year, or if it has been disturbed in its winter hide. |
