Wiltshire Dragonfly Report – 2008
"At the end of last years report I hoped for a better recording season in 2008. Well, it was not to be unfortunately, with cool and often rainy conditions dominating the summer; not the most auspicious of starts for the Atlas Project (both county and National). Despite this however there were a few interesting observations and happenings of note."
Wiltshire Dragonfly Report 2007
"As in most counties, due to the exceptionally warm early spring weather, the season got off to an early and exciting start in Wiltshire. The first record was of a pre-flight emergent female Large Red Damselfly [Pyrrhosoma nymphula] on 11th April found by myself at a small lake in Chippenham. This is the earliest odonata emergence in Wilts by almost a week."
