The British Dragonfly Society’s database is stored at the UK Biological Records Centre and feeds into the National Biodiversity Network (NBN) Atlas so that the data are available for everyone to use. We use iRecord to receive, manage and check the records submitted. You can contribute to our Recording Scheme by submitting your observations using any of the following methods.
