Gallery of British
Damselflies and Dragonflies
My aim for some time has been to photograph all the regular
breeding damselflies & dragonflies in Britain, excluding
some extreme rarities that have somehow found their way onto
the category A list published by the British Dragonfly
Society (e.g. Southern Emerald
Damselfly and Yellow-veined Darter) .
I managed to
achieve this target in the summer of 2014, by adding Norfolk Hawker and Scarce
Emerald Damselfly from the same trip to East Anglia, although a few of my photographs have
considerable scope for improvement! In 2015 I succeeded in adding
the very rare Southern Migrant Hawker and managed some improved shots of a few of the
others. In future years it would be good to add
one or two of the Cat A rarities mentioned above, as well as
improving on some more of the existing ones (especially
Northern Emerald!).
This
gallery shows my best shot(s) for each species. For some I
have included both settled and flight photos.
