Fermyn Wood 13/07/13

A superb trip to Purple Emperor central in these parts. Tried a new section of the woods and we saw easily 10 individuals, and had lots of really nice interaction with them swooping around us (and landing on my sweaty shoes ;-) Such a magnificent insect, I recommend tracking them down if you've never seen one. Long reign Iris. 

The day before my birthday, and having a pub lunch and swim at Wadenhoe later, it was a fantastic day!
