Dragonfly Gallery

A complete checklist follows of the Odonata (Dragonflies and Damselflies) I have observed in Britain, continental Europe and north Africa since 2011. These are presented in classified order per the Dijkstra and Lewington European field guide. I have used standard international names throughout with British Dragonfly Society names in parentheses.
