Baltic Hawker

Baltic Hawker (Aeshna serrata) is one of Europe´s least distributed Hawkers. It´s got a stronghold in the east of central Sweden. This female is the first for the year and the first I´ve seen in the county of Västmanland. Despite knowing it should breed here, it´s been difficult to find and identify. This individual was netted by David Andersson! Thank´s David!

Hi Daniel,

Nice to see shots of Baltic Hawker, never seen one of these!

Was wondering if you could help me with a question? Yesterday at a site north of Stockholm, I believe I photographed Small Skipper. The photo is published on my blog. I am being told the species does not occur in Sweden, though am quite sure the id is correct. Just wondering if you coluld shed any light on this..Photos here...
