Sussex Speeds To Snail's Pace

On a BC guided walk at Southwater Woods on Sunday (26th June) we did manage to scrape together 3 Emperors; a battling pair over the Marlpost parking area and the previously observed singleton at Madgeland MTs. Summer woodland species continue to under-perform spectacularly here, with disappointing numbers of camilla and paphia at present. I'm hoping this mini heatwave will stir things up a bit, but the rides seem strangely lacking in butterflies.
