Bernwood Forest 26th June

I went along to Bernwood this morning to hopefully catch up with a Purple Emperor.It was quite cloudy when I arrived and quite breezy. No Emperors were seen during the time spent here although the sun did decide to break through just as I had to leave bringing out 3+ Silver washed fritillary's.
