Possible Sightings...

I may well have spotted the first Emperor of the year at Knepp today. 

Two sightings, brief, high up and distant, at the back of a known territory, at 2.36 and 2.45. 

But I'm not 100% sure as I was too far away to see the white bands - it was far too big to be a Red Ad, and it pursued a crow, and Silver-washed Fritillary hasn't started here yet. 

My policy is 'If in any doubt chuck it out!', so I'm not claiming it...

Tomorrow perhaps, Saturday certainly...
