Dragonflies: Smallshire/Swash or Brooks/Lewington?
I've started a new thread from Jos's because I know he's specifically wanting a guide that covers mainland Europe whilst my requirements are more parochial. Having failed to find any UK dragonfly guides in Canterbury's bookshops I think I'll be ordering online. I'm after a beginner's guide and these two look the most promising (but I'm happy to consider others). The Smallshire/Swash has the advantage of only being £10 on Amazon compared to £18 for the Brooks/Lewington but how do the photographs compare to the Lewington illustrations?
Any thoughts appreciated (comments even more so!)
Thanks
