The mysterious world of Cambridge's dragonflies - Talk by Duncan Mackay

  • Cambridge Music Centre (old Infant School) New School Road, Histon, CB24 9LL (map)

Did you know that more species of dragonflies and damselflies have been recorded in the City of Cambridge than at Wicken Fen! 

Duncan Mackay is back to tell us more surprising facts about our local wildlife.  Duncan Mackay authored the chapter on dragonflies in Cambridge Natural History Society’s book The Nature of Cambridge

This time it’s those really exciting and mysterious creatures that we can see every summer– dragonflies and damselflies! Creatures whose ancestors were around with the dinosaurs can be encouraged to visit even a small garden pond.  

In the chill of February this is a reminder of the prospects for summer wildlife spotting.
