Sadly not yet, and I expect it will be a while yet up here. I went for a walk around a local Dragon and Damsel site yesterday and was amazed at how badly the heavy snow had flattened the vegetation.
According to "Hot News" on the British Dragonfly Society, there were a couple of Four-spotted Chasers in Dorset on the 23rd. |

14th of May in 2008 is the earliest I've seen a Four-spotted Chaser locally, unless we get an improvement in the weather, I'll be surprised if I see one that early. We're forecast hill snow for the weekend again.  | | |
