CHOG Photographic Archive of Damselfly and Dragonfly
All photographs were taken in the recording area and some are of an exceptionally high standard. The emphasis is not just on quality, however, but to record variation and to provide a way for newcomers to familiarise themselves with the Damselfly and Dragonfly of Christchurch Harbour.
