Jayne and I had our first visit to this woodland site in Northamptonshire today to take part in a guided walk lead by the
East Midland's Branch of Butterfly Conservation . The main species we were hoping to see was
Purple Emperor, and we managed to see 1 flying past. Unfortunately, we didn't get one on the ground, so no photo this time. Still a very good butterfly to see, and a new one for us both.
The other species that we wanted to see was
Silver-washed Fritillary, and this time we got great views and some super photos of both males and females.

Other species seen were: Ringlet (everywhere), Large Skipper, Small Skipper, Comma (2), Painted Lady (4), Meadow Brown, Red Admiral (1), Large White and Small White.
