Blank Squares 2022 – Can YOU fill in a Blank?

After three years of data collection for Dragonfly Ireland 2019 - 2024, we have received records from 75% of the 1,000 10km grid squares that cover Ireland's land area.

However, we still have gaps in our maps! We have  10km grid squares from which we have received no records to date. We would love to fill in these gaps and we are seeking YOUR help to fill in some of these blanks on our map. Take a look at the map below and see if you can target any of these squares for survey in 2022, even better, try and complete a Dragonfly Recorder survey in each blank square!

Each blue square is a 10km grid square from which we have yet to receive a Dragonfly or Damselfly record for the Dragonfly Ireland 2019-2024 survey.
