East Devon District Council’s Countryside team is offering a great opportunity to find out more about dragonflies later this month.

On Sunday, 29 June, Dave Smallshire, British Dragonfly Society Trustee and co-author of Britain’s Dragonflies, will be returning to the Axe Estuary Wetlands to lead a Wildlife Training Day.

Those lucky enough to attend the day will learn how to find, capture and identify dragonflies, discover evidence of emerging specimens and hear all about their amazing lifestyles.

The training day, which costs £30, will include visits to three local areas. There is a maximum of 10 places - so book early to avoid disappointment. Call 01395 517557 or email countryside@eastdevon.gov.uk for more information or to book.
