First recorded

In a location that you monitor regularly (at least once a week), record the first time you see a live, active ladybird outdoors.

We record the first sightings of the hibernated adults which emerge March to April.

Available historic data: we have individual records from 1942-1961, and 1971-1980. We have some records from 1990-1998.
