10 July - A morning field trip with the Upper Thames BC group, and I saw at least 5 male Purple Emperors, including 2 on the ground, one of which was very obliging for the camera (1-3). Their flight is powerful and very distinctive, involving flaps and glides. Other species seen included White Admiral, Silver-washed Fritillary, Large (4) and Small skippers, Ringlet, Marbled White (5), Comma and Common Blue. Dragonflies included Brown and Common Hawkers, and Common Darters (fem,6).
