Dragonfly Recording---from 1998 we will once again be recording ALL species in the Field.

This follows some time spent on the Rare Dragonfly Project,which for a while were the only records required.

The new Darter software is now in use to collate the field records,considerably reducing the manual transcription connected with the RA70 recording card

David Winsland is the collator for the Rare Dragonfly Project and can be found on e-mail at:  dwin_rdp@email.msn.com

Field Trips are organised on a National and Regional Level.Th e Nationals are in the twice yearly newsletter and the local ones by word of mouth or local newsletters.

The Collective Knowledge Project still requires information on single species to the recorder specialising in that species. i.e. Peter Mill at School of Biology,University of Leeds,Leeds LS2 9JT  is still looking for further information on Large Red or Pyrrhosoma nymphula.

National Dragonfly Museum-Exuviae Appeal

The Museum would be grateful for the Larger Exuvia to box up in clear plastic containers to sell to their young visitors,who prefer the Larger species.It is a way of raising funds for the Centre.  The address is:  Ruary Mackenzie Dodds,National Dragonfly Museum,Ashton Wold,Ashton,nr Oundle,Northants.PE8 5LZ
