Incredibly, the two Purple Emperor safari groups that ventured out at Knepp in driving drizzle this afternoon both saw Emperors! The butterflies sprang instantly into action in the oak tops whenever a glimmer appeared, prompted into action by the Purple Hairstreak. One group saw six, the other nine. That's how numerous PE is at Knepp, and could be elsewhere if there was more sallow...
The forecast for Thurs is for sunshine and light winds. If it proves correct, the Emperors will go utterly berserk then. Throw a sicky and go Emperoring...
PS How come the French left back is wearing purple football boots?
