| |  hello from Shropshire!
hello! I've just registered and am looking forward to chatting with you all. I work for a local wildlife charity so get to go out in me wellies most days. Dragonflies are my main thing as you can probably tell from my sign in name.  |

The county's Wildlife Trust. I've been working and volunteering for them for about 10 years and still loving it. What about you? I see you work in the New Forest- lucky you!  |

Hi odonata, a very warm welcome to WAB. Certainly plenty of Dragonfly enthusiasts on here so you are in good company.

I went to uni in Bournemouth and spent many a happy hour exploring the new forest- wonderful part of the world isn't it? What's your favourite place?

Too many too list them all!
The main places I go are Poundhill/Queens Meadow/Brinken Wood/Highland Water/HurstHill/New Park/Plantation, Cadmans Pool/Old Sloden/Islands Thorns/Hampton Ridge, Anderwood/Burley Outer Rails/Beech Bed/Bratley Wood. But it can depend on the time of year & whats around. |

Welcome to WAB, I have explored a lot of Shropshire and have taken an interest in the Silver-studded Blue colony in North Shrposhire for the past 25 years. |

hi speckled wood- i went to see the silver-studded blues in north shropshire this summer- they're amazing aren't they? did you know that the bbc came over and filmed them emerging from the ground covered in ants? I think its due to be shown on tv next spring. |
