Welcome to the Lancashire Dragonfly group. This is supposed to be a local group of the British Dragonfly Society (BDS), but membership of the BDS is not necessary to join the group.

There is also a Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/372711746417007/ (Not sure if this URL will work for you - search for Lancashire Dragonfly Group from within Facebook if it does not).
