Foxley, Norfolk. 23rd June

A bit of over night rain was promising so an early start before the heat hits. Unfortunately 20 miles away at Foxley Woods it seemed they had very little and the main ride was bone dry. The first Emperor was seen at around 9am and the initial sightings were all Sallow searching. There was a peak in activity at 10ish when three were seen by the bench at the cross tracks. One male constantly buzzed my face and I thought would come to ground but no luck. At least six seen but probably still early days. Paphia and Camilla are doing well but the grassland species numbers are quite low. I will leave you with the only shot I got, use your imaginations.
