Parc Slip yesterday

There was nothing flying at a cool and cloudy at Parc Slip yesterday - so instead I looked for Coleophora cases and was pleased, after quite a lot of searching, to find a single case of C. paripennella on knapweed. Only the 7th county record I think.

More dramatic was this female Emperor, found at rest on the ground by the visitor centre.

    First sighting of an emperor at Parc Slip according to my records. I'm not at all envious...
