There are now over 41,800 records on the SBIS Database. The Suffolk Local Dragonfly Group has collected thousands of records for a completely new issue of Suffolk Dragonflies (sample below).


A countywide survey was run by SBRC from 1986 to 1991, over 7,000 records were computerised using the RECORDER program. Guidance on identification and recording can be found on the British Dragonfly Society website.
