written by anthony singleton, August 16, 2009
hi just admiring your photo's, we are new to dragonfly's but have spent the last 2 summers at brenny common. On august 14th documented by photo a few common species: common blue,southern hawker(female), black tailed skimmer(female). Was wondering if you could recommend a good dragonfly book to help us identify what we see, we live in bodmin so after viewing your photo's we itend to try out some of the areas you have used! many thanks anthony & phay.

Hi Anthony & Phay,
Glad to hear that you are finding my dragonfly photos useful, Breney Common is a great place to learn your dragons. The dragonfly book that I would most recommend, because of the quality of it's illustrations, it's size & portability, and informative text is the Field Guide to the Dragonflies & Damselflies of Great Britain & Ireland by Steve Brooks, with illustrations by Richard Lewington, published by British Wildlife Publishing. I'm pretty sure it still available through Amazon.
Regards
Steve
