Below is a Google Map of useful Odonata sites that we know of in the UK as a whole. However, since this was getting awfully crowded, I’ve split out four regions to reduce the congestion.
- Scotland
- East Anglia
- the New Forest (and the south of England)
- my Home Turf (largely Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire)
Pink markers are sites that we have visited – if you click on them you’ll see a list of species we’ve identified at that site.
Blue markers are likely candidate sites that we are yet to visit.
Do you take suggestions of sites from ‘The Public’? If so can I suggest Wilford Claypit NR, SK 570 355, species seen are Emperor, Broad-bodied Chaser, Four-spotted Chaser, Black-tailed Skimmer, Brown Hawker, Southern Hawker, Migrant Hawker, Common Darter and Ruddy Darter. Not so varied for Damselfly, Azure, Common Blue, Blue-tailed and Large Red.
I do, Rod. Anyway, you’re not really public, you’re a member of our Farcebook group. 😀
The species lists on my pins are the those that I’ve seen at the site, rather than an exhaustive list of those present. I will certainly plot your suggestion as a TBV site, though; I’m frequently looking for new places to explore. Thank you.
[Crumbs, that looks like an oasis in a desert of buildings. Intriguing.]
