Yes, this is Sympetrum vulgatum.

Hi Andreas, Congratulations to the author for photographing such a valuable and very rare dragonfly.

Thank you, Karsten. I did not know these dragonflies until that day. I sought and found in Kashubia. Regards, Chris

Hallo Roger, Ferry If I would like to show this photo from the perspective of the eyes of the goosander, then I show. This picture is made from another perspective and you should take into account my point of view. You thought what I want to show. Or maybe the goosander is just a staffage (in painting - ausstaffieren). I wish you good fun in finding what's important. Best wishes, Chris

It is Southern Darter (Sympetrum meridionale) - female.

Hallo Jalil, Beautiful shot. Regards Chris

Hello Ruth, Thank you! Nikkor AF-S 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED VR II, 300 mm, 1/1000 s, f/11, ISO 800, Exposure compensation -0,67, AF-C. Photo taken out of the hand. Regards, Chris

Hi Wilhelm, Dragonflies in my photos are in a typical position of rest, a characteristic of the species. The second my photo given by you is not marked as "Naturdokument" and is an example of misguided. Why Wilhelm your photo "auf Klee" not already flagged as "Naturdokument"? I think that you did the right thing. Photo of a dragonfly on anything planted can not be "Naturdokument". Harald photographs can not be classified as "Naturdokument". Do yo

Hello Andreas, Thank You! Regards, Chris

This Dragonflies never sit in such places. These are the juvenile dragonflies, very young females. Such dragonfly searching a secluded, much higher ground, for example on the trees. I think that creating a scene before shooting disqualify any photo as "Naturdokument". Thank you for the nice discussion. Regards, Chris

I repeat, the picture may be appealing, but it is not "Naturdokument". Regards Chris

Harald, Sorry, but Black-tailed skimmer does not sit on such plants. Chris

Hi Harald, You may like it, but there is nothing as documentation of nature! Chris

Hallo Andreas Sorry for the mistake. So rare species, so ****. Congratulations. Regards, Chris

Hallo Klaus So rare species, so ****. Congratulations. Regards, Chris

Hi, Andreas Congratulations to meet with such a rare dragonfly and execution of successful pictures. Regards, Chris

I would add that the background is alder tree trunk. Regards, Chris

Thanks awfully! Regards, Chris

Hi Heike, The bright stain at the right edge destroys the beautiful photograph. Chris

Hallo Ute, It's just a reflection of the sky in the water.
