News from Sussex stalwarts Michael & Clare Blencowe:
We took a hike today (28th July) from Horsted Keynes to Kingscote. A great walk through some lovely Sussex scenery. We recorded butterfly species along the way to
fill in some gaps for the Sussex Butterfly Atlas. At Kingscote we jumped on
the Bluebell Railway and headed back to our starting point. The sallow-lined
network of fishponds just north of Horsted Keynes looked like a likely place
for Purple Emperors so I kept an eye on the canopy as we passed by. Sure
enough I had a brief glimpse of the Emperor high above the anglers - another
purple square on the Sussex Butterfly Atlas. We now have 83 tetrads in
Sussex where Purple Emperor have been found since 2010. Can we get to 100?
