The good book

Last Friday, 30th May 2014, saw the official publication of the latest 'Atlas of Dragonflies in Britain and Ireland'. This odo-tastic tome has been five years in the making, is an update of the previous 1996 version and represents much hard work by volunteers, recorders and BDS staff.


My copy arrived today, so the old odometer will be off the Happy scale for a while, as I contentedly scour graphs, maps, tables, phenology, distributions, trends, species accounts et al.

  1. Don't forget to draft your corrections and additions for the next edition.

  2. A good point. There's likely to be even more changes in distribution of species and phenology for the next one.
