Dragonflies and Damselflies
Notes about these records and maps
The species information presented here, notably the distribution maps, is based on the records of the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust and the Lincolnshire Naturalists' Union. All data on which these are based has also been passed to the Regional Recorder for inclusion in the database of the British Dragonfly Society. The ambitious project to put together an illustrated county database on the World Wide Web has been achieved by members of the Lincolnshire Odonata Recording Group, notably John Redshaw and Dave Bromwich.
It is hoped that these pages will be invaluable as an aid to identification and recording of the Odonata of Lincolnshire. We hope and anticipate that other counties will find the database of value. However, the primary aim is to ignite the enthusiasm of new recorders, who will get into the field to identify species and add to this initial presentation of data.
Come along and join in
To visit the Web site is one thing, to start to develop identification and recording skills is another matter. It is hoped that the interest generated by the Web site will encourage readers to join events organised by the BDS, LNU and the Trust. We will know this has been successful when we meet you in the field with this information on your laptop!
