And the sun shone unblemished throughout...
I didn't go out today (but am going out this evening with the UV torch versus flourescing pupae), but it looks as though today saw the first decent emergence of the year at Knepp - it's still very early days there, with Purple Hairstreak Silver-washed Fritillary and White Admiral only just starting there, and Marbled White and Ringlet only just getting going.
A promising number of sightings from the north London (Herts & Middx) area today, but a lot of sites / counties still haven't started.
Another wave of immigrant Painted Ladies and Red Ads.
I'm heading back to Knepp tomorrow...
This has the makings of a very good Purple Emperor season... ... ...
