Woodwalton Fen 30.07.13

This is still my favourite local site, the range of things to see and the unique landscape, it really is special. Its hard to identify everything seen, some things are just too quick! But I did see for myself something reported by others and which I'm really surprised at - Purple Emperors near the Rothschild Bungalow. Exciting to think they might be resident next year.
