This survey is the first of a series of Sunday Odonata surveys that will take place this year on the Purbeck Heaths NNR and the Wareham ARC project.
It’s been three years since the Sunday Group last conducted Odonata surveys on the Studland Heath ponds. Since then, significant changes have taken place, including new wetland creation and the introduction of beavers.
We are excited to resume these surveys this year to begin tracking the impact of these ecological changes. The surveys will be held on selected Sundays, with dates announced in advance on our website.
These sessions are ideal for both experienced Odonata enthusiasts and those who are relatively new to dragonfly and damselfly identification and looking to improve their skills.
For these surveys, please make sure to:
- Wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the day
- Take your binoculars and Odonata ID books/ sheets
- Take your own lunch , snacks and drink for the day
This survey will be led by Kevin Edge & Paul Budgen, but if you have any questions about this survey in advance, please feel free to contact me through: Jasper@purbeckecology.org.uk.
It will be useful to know more or less how many of you might come for this survey, therefore if you are hoping to come, please take a moment to sign up for this survey below.
The parking for this survey is easiest on the side of Ferry Road. Please note that on Sundays it can become quite busy here, therefor take enough time to find a spot. For the exact meet up location, please use the What3Words location provided above.
