found your channel searching 'UK Odonata' for a independent study I'm undertaking on Beaver wetlands using Odonates. Absolutely brilliant video! Thank you for the hard work you've evidently put into making this and also for sharing your vast knowledge!

Thanks. Fair warning that my videos generally focus on US families. If you need resources specific to the UK, you may want to reach out to the British Dragonfly Society for ID materials. british-dragonflies.org.uk/
