Sympetrum fonscolombii
Hello again dear friends! It's been a while, but as you know winter is not best time to photograph dragonflies. Or maybe not? Yesterday (1/2/2015) I had the pleasure to spot two pairs of Red-Veined Darters in tandem position, ovipostiting in Lake Kourna, Crete. It's not that rare to see such a thing in Crete due to the calm winter. For example, although a couple of weeks ago we were facing low temperatures, these last days the temperature has started to rise, reaching yesterday a phenomenal 20C! Unfortnately however, we had a lot of African dust in the air, and in compination with the opposite sun this was the only photo I was able to achieve.
