A morning out at Ebernoe found 41 bird sp., best being breeding Tree-creepers, Nightingales and two Hawfinch. I couldn't find any Purple Emperors but there were zillions of Purple Hairstreaks, Gatekeppers, Marbled Whites and Small Skippers plus a singles of Small Copper and Painted Lady. The Red Sussex cattle are also excellent company following around the meadow in leisurely fashion. Very nice.

Red Sussex bull, a youngster & very friendly, I love cattle!
In the moth trap we had a Dewick's Plusia but I only managed one rushed picture, a good one for us though:
