2022-08-20 Grib Skov (nordsjælland), Denmark Imago ♂ I think it is a male, seeing a clean upperside through the backlit underside. Actually my first self-found in Denmark. Meaning finding it at a location where I didn't know it could be found. And a bit unusual this behavior, flying slowly along the trail, and then perching rather high up, in a fir. |
