Tale of two Woods.
Saturday and I took a trip over to Fermyn for the first time in a couple of years. Yes it was hot, very hot. Made my way over to Souther Wood and got buzzed at 8.30am but HIM would not come to ground just sat on a leaf taking the mick. Through the morning I had ten sightings in various spots but groundings were only for seconds. Found one interested in a bit of moss and coaxed it onto my finger where it took a liking to the sweat (questionable tastes Derek?). The last seen had spent apparently over an hour on it's favourite meal, we'll call him Richard the Turd. Sadly no open wing shots.

| My first grounded Norfolk Emperor |
Today (Monday) and I decided to stick closer to home (30 mins as opposed to 2 and a half hours) and check out Foxley Wood in Nth Norfolk where Iris has been recorded for the last two years. What have I been missing! From the first car park and along the main ride a total of thirteen sightings. Several sallow searching and one on the deck to give me my first Norfolk Emperor photo, with wings open as an added bonus. Thanks Iris.
