Dragonflight  (English, Electronic book text, Taylor Marianne Ms)

This book is an account of two years spent getting to know Britain's most dazzling and enigmatic insects - the dragonflies and damselflies.The quest to find, photograph, watch and learn about dragons and damsels took the author on a tour of diverse and lovely wetlands up and down Britain, from the rugged wild peat bogs of north-west Scotland to the languid meanders of the Oxfordshire Thames.The account describes close encounters with the dragons and damsels themselves, set against backdrops of rich and vital habitats teeming with a range of other wildlife. It is also packed with background detail on dragonfly and damselfly natural history, and wetland ecology in general.The text is enlivened with line drawings and a section of colour photographs.
