![Female Scarce chaser (Libellula fulva) The German common name, “Spitzenfleck”, alludes to the little black spot at the tip of the wings.
[Obsolete]
Based on the habitat (alluvial meadow in the fairly warm Upper Rhine region) and the date (end of May), this dragonfly could be a Red-veined darter (Sympetrum fonscolombii). It seems pretty obvious that it belongs to the family of Libellulidae.

![Carrion crow (Corvus corone) Nature in my “backyard” - I live close to the river Isar that flows through Munich, where I went for a walk today.
Crows like this one abound and are a very common sight. This one caught my interest, since it had found a little Polaroid-type photo among the gravel and was pecking away at it.
[EDIT 2024-05-01] I had originally (wrongly) identified this bird as Corvus frugilegus. After re-checking the photo today, I corrected it to Corvus corone.

I’m a hobby nature enthusiast from Munich. Married to a biologist specialised in European butterflies, so I'm a bit biased in that direction :-) Absolutely fascinated by tropical habitats (Costa Rica & Ecuador so far).
Real name is Wolfgang Thomas.
