About this book

Read our interview with Dave Smallshire

Britain's Dragonflies is the only comprehensive photographic field guide to the damselflies and dragonflies of Great Britain and Ireland. Written by two of Britain's foremost Dragonfly experts, this fully revised and updated fourth edition features hundreds of stunning images and identification charts covering all 57 resident, migrant and former breeding species, and six potential vagrants. Britain's Dragonflies focuses on the identification of both adults and larvae, highlighting the key features. Detailed species profiles provide concise information on identification, distribution, flight periods, behaviour, habitat, status and conservation. Other sections cover biology; how to watch, photograph, record and monitor Dragonflies; conservation status and legislation; and introduced exotic species.

This fourth edition – which has been redesigned, updated and expanded – features:
- Beautiful colour plates showing males, females, immatures and all colour forms for every species
- Over 500 stunning photographs, many of which are new, and more than 550 illustrations
- Up-to-date species profiles and distribution maps

Media reviews

"This is the definitive, must-have guide to the dragonflies of Britain and Ireland [...] the most comprehensive field guide of its type [...] Highly recommended."
– Mark Tyrrell, Dragonfly News

"[The] information is well presented and a subject that could easily daunt a budding odonatologist is in fact made entirely digestible. If you haven't already got a copy, it's well worth investing."
– Josh Jones, BirdGuides.com
