Dragging with the team

Went off-patch today with the team to have a look around the nearby Rossjön area with dragonflies in mind. The weather was overcast, muggy and with occasional showers but we had a good look at some interesting sites near Lärkeröd. Very few species on the wing, but we saw a nice selection of common species.

Sympetrum sanguineum - a diminuitive little jewel of a libellulid.

Teneral male Sympetrum danae, we saw a few mature black individuals too.

On the way home the kids went swimming at Västersjön and I spotted three goosander and a family party of great crested grebe.
