The Purple Emperor has avoided me like the plague so far this year
despite putting in many hours it has always been a case of wrong place, wrong time.
But I must admit ( and I don't want the likes of Neil Hulme to know this ) but I spooked
a real beauty yesterday
![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
, and sent it up with no photos!. ( keep that quiet! ).
But on the plus side I made a good discovery today. A young enthusiast, Max, showed
me an image of a fresh Wood White, and later on I found another, which together with a few
survivors of the Spring brood still flying, confirmed that the two broods have overlapped
in 2020. In some years no Wood Whites are seen at all during the PE season.
Must do better!,
Trevor.
