Join us in Dorset for an opportunity to see and find out more about the 32 species of dragonflies and damselfies found in Christchurch Harbour. Visit our exhibition, upstairs in our visitor centre, between 1 and 9 July, to see images and information about our resident species, as well as displays from Freshwater Habitats Trust and British Dragonfly Society. We will also be showing a short film on UK species and have a range of exuviae to see as well as some artwork and cards for sale. Whilst there you can enjoy our shop (drinks and other light refreshments available) and wildlife garden, including our active pond or take a walk to some of the ponds on the nature reserve.
On Saturday 8th of July we will be holding a Dragonfly Open Day between 10am and 4pm, with guided dragonfly viewing stations at two of our ponds, related craft activities for children (small charge), on-hand experts, including County Recorders and live pond life to see, including odonata larvae. Just come to the visitor centre and we can direct you. See Visit Hengistbury Head for details of how to find us.
