  6. A bonus day 25 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. After 24 of my own pictures I always end with this - E H Shepard's drawing of one of history's most famous dragonfly surveyors observing a Banded Demoiselle. Happy Christmas to those who celebrate, happy holidays to those who don't and happy dragonfly-watching in 2026 to one and all. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates

  7. Day 24 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Common Darter is the commonest dragonfly of late summer and especially autumn. My last one this year was in November! This one from the botanical gardens at the natural history museum in #Paris in August. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #photography

  8. Day 23 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Ruddy Darter is one of two common red dragonflies in the UK. Males are a deeper red than Common Darters, have a distinct "waist" in the middle of the abdomen and have all-black legs with no stripes. This one was in #Essex in July. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #photography

  9. Extra bonus on day 22 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Realised I'd forgotten to include our most familiar species, Common Blue Damselfly. So you get a bonus image. Often seen in large numbers by lakes or slow rivers. This one was at #Whixall Moss, bogs not really being typical habitat but they do rather get everywhere. #Wales #Cymru #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #photography

  10. Day 22 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Common Emerald is our only widespread green damselfly, although Willow Emerald (day 18) is gradually catching up. This species likes overgrown ponds - watch for males sat with their wings open like this one, waiting for either food or a mate. This one at #Whixall Moss, #Wales, in late June. #Cymru #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #photography

  11. Day 21 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. The male Black Darter is black when mature, but this one had only just emerged so had colours more like a female. Some damselfly species have black females but this is our only black dragonfly. At #Whixall Moss, #Wales, in late June. The site is a large bog which straddles the border of Wales with Shropshire. #Cymru #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #photography

  12. Day 20 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. There has to be a picture of damselflies doing the heart-shaped mating wheel, and today's the day. Blue-tailed Damselfly is very common and relatively tolerant of poor water quality so you'll find them everywhere. The male is the blue one, the female is green (females come in a variety of colours). #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #photography

  13. Since day 19 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar is Emperor Dragonfly, here's a bonus image - the wonderful wire sculpture of a male Emperor at WWT Llanelli for their dragonfly festival in the summer. #Wales #Cymru #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #photography

  19. Day 19 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Emperor Dragonfly is the big blue & green species that hovers over large ponds like a helicopter, bullying the other species out of the way. This is a female laying eggs, seen in August.

  20. Day 18 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Willow Emerald is the largest, slimmest and second most widespread of the UK's 4 Emerald Damselfly species. This is a Parisian one seen in August in the botanical gardens outside the natural history museum. #Paris #France #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #wildlifephotography #photography

  21. Day 17 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Variable Damselfly looks very like the common Azure damsel but is much more sparsely distributed. In males, look for the broken blue lines on top of the thorax. Females need a bit of practice to distinguish from Azure. This one near RSPB Ham Wall, #Somerset, in July. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #wildlifephotography #photography

  22. Day 16 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Scarce Chaser (top) likes rivers & is less scarce than it used to be, probably due to better water quality. Seen at #RSPB #StrumpshawFen in late June. Its friend lower down the perch is a Norfolk Hawker. #Norfolk #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #wildlifephotography #photography

  23. Day 15 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. My only lifer of the year, Goblet-marked Damselfly, a close relative of our Common Blue. Waited years to see one, then saw 2 this year, #Paris in July & #Rome in Sept. It's quite thin and has more black than the Common Blue; in flight it looked a bit like a Blue-tailed Damsel. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #wildlifephotography #photography

  24. Day 14 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. The 3rd Sunday of Advent is the day associated with pink rather than purple so let's have a pink dragonfly. Violet Dropwing is an African species which has spread through Southern Europe. This one in #Rome in September, at the very wonderful Villa Ada park. #Italy #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #wildlifephotography #photography

  25. Day 13 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. My favourite species, Banded Demoiselle. At #Goring by the #RiverThames in early June. Males make beautiful display flights over slow rivers & streams, something that in the UK only our 2 demoiselle species do. #Oxfordshire #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #wildlifephotography #photography

  26. Day 12 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. White-legged Damselfly lives in slow-flowing rivers. This one was by the Thames at #Goring in June. They're very pale, almost white, when they first emerge, darkening to a pale blue still paler than out other blue damselflies. #Oxfordshire #RiverThames #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #wildlifephotography #photography

  27. Star Wars kvíz, den 11. #advent #kviz #adventcalendar

    Dneska imho easy mód.

    Chewbacca je?

  28. Day 11 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. The very appropriately named Beautiful Demoiselle. Males use their coloured wings in display flights to impress females; the two Demoiselle species are the only UK odonata that do this (most dragons & damsels just grab first and ask questions later). Photo beside the River Ray, #Swindon, in early July. #Wiltshire #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #wildlifephotography #photography

  29. Dneska byl rušný den, takže kvíz až v noci. Star Wars adventní kvíz 10.12. #advent #kviz #adventcalendar

    Jakou společnost založil George Lucas, aby vytvořil průkopnické vizuální efekty pro Star Wars?

  30. Day 10 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Keeled Skimmer is a common species of bogs in the UK. This one was in #Rome in September; individuals there have a blue thorax which would be brown here. #Italy #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #wildlifephotography #photography

  31. Star Wars kvíz, okénko v kalendáři je 9. #advent #kviz #adventcalendar

    Jaký typ zbraně primárně používá Star Destroyer?

  32. Neděle je trošku digi detox, takže kvíz pokračuje až dneska.

    Star Wars kvíz 7.12. #advent #kviz #adventcalendar

    Jaká je primární funkce R2-D2?

  33. Day 8 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Norfolk Hawker is no longer restricted to Norfolk, thanks to improving water quality. It looks reddish in flight due to the brown body; when settled the green eyes are the key feature. The photo is from #Norfolk, though - RSPB #StrumpshawFen in late June. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #wildlifephotography #photography

  34. Day 7 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Broad Scarlet is a very rare visitor to the UK from France, but last year they bred here for the first time at one site in #Hampshire. Maybe they'll settle? Photo from mid-July.

  36. CW: Advent Beer Calendar 2025: Day 6

    After #KrampusNight comes #StNicholasDay, celebrating the arrival of St. Nicholas on December 6 who brings gifts to children. St. Nick is, of course, the precursor to the modern-day Santa Claus, so for the #BeerAdventCalendar pick of the day we commemorate the holiday with a Santa-themed #beer—Bad Santa Cascadian Dark Ale from Oregon’s #PelicanBrewing.
