Went to one of my favourite woods today (Sunday), Farley Mount/ West Wood near to
Winchester. I got there early anticipating a good showing with good
weather in prospect, Unfortunately all I got was a very cloudy day with
intermittent bursts of sunshine, I made up for this looking for the main
core breeding area. I found a lot of Sallow in the western end of the
wood and the ride rises up and runs from West to East, and the Sallow is
a potentially good breeding area.However I only glimpsed the Emperor
once for a few seconds at 1007 on a Oak tree.
I not sure they are out in
significant numbers here yet. The ride where I normally see at least
one or two drew a blank, but it was mainly a cloudy day. The Silver
-Washed Fritillary took ages to fly and saw only (4) White Admirals and
one of these was straight out the box!
