Another day dominated by cloud (Stratocumulus with sunny breaks) and a moderate to fresh West wind. Difficult working conditions, with a lot of hanging about waiting for a break. Emperors erupted with every break.
They're starting to get tanked up on oak sap -
Congratulations to Knepp Castle Estate, pioneer rewilding site and home of the UK's largest known Emperor population, which has now been successfully running Purple Emperor Safaris for ten glorious years! He's today's Safari group getting wowed by His Gloriousity (joined by one or two other folk who were passing by) -
We've got another three days of indifferent weather, then another anticyclonic spell is due to start next Thursday. That will see Peak Season period at most Emperor sites...
