The paper presents data from sout- hern Andalusia (Spain), from the period between 16.08 to 2.09.2011. It was at 8 sites during unsystematic observations which were conducted on the occasion on ornithological studies. Those were: 1. Bolonia (36°6’3,92” N, 5°43’58,12” W, UTM TE59); 2. Cabrito (36°3’19,05” N, 5°33’12,97” W, TE69); 3. La Peña (Valle de Santuario) (36°3’52,77” N, 5°38’52,35” W, TE69); 4. La Janda (36°13’10,84” N, 5°46’59,01” W, TF41); 5. El Algarrobo (36°5’25,21” N, 5°29’2,28” W, TE79); 6. Palmones (36°10’9,59” N, 5°26’35,91” W, TF80); 7. Los Barrios (36°13’44,69” N, 5°29’6,96” W, TF71), 8. Algeciras (36°6’24,63” N, 5°26’28,45” W, TE89). At site no. 3 there was a small stream, at site no. 4 rice !eld with irrigating canals, at site no. 6 – the estuary of the River Rio Palmo- nes and its pools, at site no. 7 – strongly pol- luted small water bodies within the area of rubbish dump. The rest of the bird-watching sites was situated far from the potential breeding sites of dragon"ies. 11 dragon"y species were noted: Calopteryx haemorrhoidalis, Ischnura pumilio, I. graellsii, Anax ephippiger, A. parthenope, Orthetrum chrysostigma, Brachythemis impartita, Crocothemis erythraea, Sympetrum fonscolombii, Trithemis annulata and T. kirbyi. The most distributed was Sympetrum fonscolombii, observed at every sites, and Orthetrum chrysostigma. The most nu- merous were Sympetrum fonscolombii and Crocothemis erythraea. The richest in dra- gon"ies were rice !elds in La Janda. The observed species are common in so- uthern Spain. An exception and, at the same time, the most interesting one among others was Trithemis kirbyi. This is African spe- cies, in continental Europe known until re- cently from the study area, otherwise noted in Sardinia. Nowadays, it has been in ter- ritorial expansion; it has inhabited the nei- ghboring province Malaga and was noted in central-western Andalusia (Seville).
