Just a brief diary note to say that, very nearly two weeks after Duck End NR (apparently always Bedfordshire’s first), I today found six freshly emerged Large Red Damsels (Pyrrhosoma nymphula) at my local Sandhouse Lane NR.
My first encounter with them at Sandhouse last year was May 12th but then, I had been languishing in Spain in early May – and much warmer it had been, too.
