A dream come true!

Finally Linda, Martin & I connected with the majestic Purple Emperors at Theberton Woods!
We saw three females and two males, as well as Purple Hairstreaks, Silver-washed Fritillaries and White Admirals. Birds included Lesser Spot and LOADS of Spotted Flies (At least 12!)
Also interesting were dozens of Ant Lion 'pits' at Minsmere and four or so Dartfords on Dunwich Heath!
And, to cap the day, a Red Kite loafed across the road near Thurton








Ant Lion larva in its pit-trap!
