A new territory in Middlesex today
My season has ended as sailing is about to begin but Andrew's season hasn't ended so whilst I was at work he was having all the fun.
27 July 2012 ~ Whitewebbs Wood, North Enfield ~ based on work with Liz
Goodyear, I was very pleased to at last see two Purple Emperors this
afternoon. There was one male, sometimes two, on territory and active high
in the oaks in hazy sun between 1 and 4pm, when I left.
The weather is forecast as pretty good tomorrow afternoon Sat 27th July, so
anyone wishing to join me there tomorrow would be more than welcome.
I plan to get to the North Lodge entrance TQ330995 by 12.30 if anyone
wishes to meet me there. I would advise bringing binoculars and a
collapsible chair, insect cream etc, and some patience. My advice would be
to put aside time through to at least 2pm, if not 3pm. North Lodge has good
parking on Whitewebbs Lane, north side of Whitewebbs Park, about 300m west
of the King and Tinker Public House, or one could walk through Whitewebbs
Park or Forty Hall from bus services out of Enfield Town. (please copy and paste link as it is too late in day!)

Hi Liz - are those dates 1909, or should they be 1990?
Enfield 1909 is correct, records are sporadic, as is the situation for Epping. Dots on the map but all connected
