Knepp Wilding / Thursley Common (16/07/22)

The least hottest of the days of the weekend saw me heading down to Dad's and then onto Knepp Wilding followed by a quick drop into Thursley Common.

The Large Tortoiseshell at Knepp failed to appear but good low level views of Purple Hairstreak (Dad, you should have been there!) and a female Purple Emperor giving us the run-around.  It was nice to see the introduced White Storks are doing well.

Very little at Thursley except 2 Woodlark, Dartford Warbler and first Brown Hawker of the year.  The boardwalk still doesn't exist after the fire except a very small section - the good area for the Odonata having been fenced off.
