Good Dutch dragonfly summer

This is a yellow-winged darter video.

Translated from the Dutch Vlinderstichting entomologists today, on dragonflies in the Netherlands:

Species which usually are absent or infrequent here seem more present than in recent years. …

Thus, the southern darter was reported from twenty locations spread through the country. That might not be as impressive as the invasion of 2006, but still that is significantly more than in recent years. The yellow-winged darter seems less rare than in previous years this year as well.
