Recording
Recording is the essence of what we do
Our records are essential to the understanding of the key site locations; their waxing and waning over the seasons and years.
Migration, potential colonisations, habits and abundance are what we learn season by season. Our records, and those of other societies and,
other recorders help build up the national distribution picture.
There are three choices of recording systems: LIVING RECORD is the preferred.
-
A computerised Odonata Recorder, that requires MS Excel, but reduces the workload of the county recorder by obviating manual transcription of records. This can be downloaded from the sidebar on the right hand side of this page, under electronic records.
-
A paper form system (RA83 recording form) for those who do not have Excel. This can also be downloaded from the sidebar.
-
Our brand new Living Record tool, which allows records to be inputted online. PLEASE USE THIS IF YOU CAN!
Please submit electronic records to Penny Green: pennygreen AT sussexwt.org.uk
Please submit paper records and/or exuviae by post to:
- Penny Green,
- Sussex Wildlife Trust,
- Woods Mill,
- Henfield,
- West Sussex,

Digital Photos
With the advent of digital cameras the identification of species can now be ascertained from photographs.
Those who are uncertain of identification can send photos (by e-mail or post) to the County Recorder, who will be happy to advise and authenticate.
All records are gratefully appreciated, each one helps us to better understand our Dragonfly populations and how we can best support them.
