New Flash Photo Galleries
I've spent the winter updating all the photographs on the website - doing away with the individual pages and collating all into new flash galleries.
There are galleries for every species I've had the pleasure to photograph,
which include all the New Forest species along with a few non-residents.
The galleries can be accessed by the species pages, or for those familiar
with dragonflies and want to get straight to the photos can access each
gallery by clicking the link above.

My name is Paul Ritchie and I am an amateur photographer and wildlife enthusiast
who is passionate about Dragonflies.
Over the past few years I've developed a deep fascination and respect for
these beautiful insects, spending many hours hunting and photographing
them in their natural habitats. Luckily we are blessed with a fine selection
of species here in Hampshire
with The New Forest in particular nationally recognised as a stronghold.
My passion does not restrict me to Hampshire alone. Indeed to do so would
be churlish and prevent me from observing and photographing dragonflies
in different habitats, such as the heaths and rivers of Dorset,, Berkshire,
and Surrey or the flooded plains of the Somerset Levels. It is therefore
my intention to build a working knowledge of the best sites in the UK where
these beautiful creatures can be observed and share my discoveries for
other enthusiasts to enjoy.
There are still a great deal of locations for me to discover and several
species I've yet to encounter, so this site is far from comprehensive,
however I do keep a blog which is updated frequently during the season
where you can follow my progress as I continue my journey of discovery.
