Hi Folks,
I am after getting a Dragonfly book for next Spring. Which out of the many choices available would you say is the best one?
I seem to remember being recommended one some time ago that had some sites also in the back.
Thnaks for any help you can offer.
Regards Chris.

Hi Chris
The book that I use is "Watching British Dragonflies"
Steve Dudley, Caroline Dudley and Andrew Mackay
ISBN 978-1-905268-04-7
Whilst I am no expert on Dragonflies or Dragonfly books I am pleased with it and it has quite a bit of site info in the back, so may be the book you were describing.

Beat me to it... Steve Brooks is the definative guide, well written and illustrated, although he does admit to a few ommisions in the teneral stages, but still the best by one of the countries experts...
