Wed July 3rd: Cloud & Drizzle

Very little play today, anywhere.  Knepp had just a few short bright spells; Gloucestershire had drizzle all morning, then windblown cloud - before it cleared in the evening...

But sunny spells and bright cloud in East Hampshire brought sallow-searching males out in excellent numbers in the southern part of Alice Holt Forest, with six being seen in a vista and a total of 20 apparent individuals in 20 minutes (per Ashley Whitlock, BC Hants). This is the most seen in a vista and a short time in Alice since the 2009-10 era in Straits Inclosure (then the FC felled most of the ride-side sallows...).

Tomorrow is forecast to be bright and breezy. The Emperors may be seeking to make up for lost time...

Vote Purple early, then go Emperoring...
