Priory Water - first record of the year

Mark Rossell recorded 8 Large Red Damselflies at Priory Water today.

April 19th is an early date - the earliest reported to this website was only two days earlier in 2004 - and is probably yet more evidence of global warming kicking in. It will be interesting to compare the earliest records of other species this year. Of course, being such sensitive creatures, dragonflies and damselflies are one of the first indicators of climate and environment changes, so your records could prove to be important!
