"Following the excitement of seeing our first Purple Emperor inside our office yesterday, exactly the same thing happened again today at around 9.45am. The office door was open and we spotted a butterfly on the inside of the window, on closer inspection we realised it was a Purple Emperor. It was much smaller than the one we had seen the day before and more battered. However we were able to take pictures of it, in fact the butterfly actually climbed onto one of the cameras and remained there for a while. It then climbed from camera to hand, and we took it outside for more pictures before it eventually flew off. It seemed to be feeding off the hand.". Purple Empeor Purple Empeor Terry Hotten writes: "A brief walk around Hazeley Heath this morning produced a fresh Small Tortoiseshell along with Marbled Whites, Silver- studded Blues in reasonable numbers along with Meadow Browns, Ringlets and Large and Small Skippers." peter gardner reports from highcross froxfield (SU712266) where the following observations were made: Red Admiral (1 "purched on an hot window "). Red Admiral (RWh) Bob Whitmarsh reports from Plague Pits Valley, St Catherine's Hill (SU485273) where the following observations were made: Marbled White (23), Meadow Brown (41), Small Heath (7), Small Skipper (2), Ringlet (2), Red Admiral (3), Small Tortoiseshell (4), Small White (2), Comma (1).

When I joined Butterfly Conservation some ten years ago, as a new recruit to the wonderful world of moths, I never envisaged becoming part of the main committee let alone finding myself on this ‘lofty perch’! Firstly, I would like to register my and the Branch’s thanks to Pete Eeles for his support and enthusiasm for the branch during his time as chair, despite the pressures of a job that often saw him away from the country, and to the other members of the main committee for their support and enthusiasm over the past twelve months.

  • Hollins 1998
    RALPH HOLLINS WILDLIFE HIGHLIGHTS – 1998 WEEK 52 BIRDS: THU 31 DEC. Mark Litjens toured Keyhaven, Timsbury and Farlington today in preparation for his New Year’s Day list and here is what he had to say about his day. “Today I was checking on certain species for the new years day bash. I started at near Keyhaven and had another BARN OWL at first light. On to Milford and the adult MED. GULL was parked in the pay and display car park. I couldn't see it's ticket though!!! A walk to Hurst Castle to check if the Black Redstart was still around but no sign of it. Not much passed Hurst though, 2 Guillemots, 1 Common Scoter and 1 Diver sp. A kingfisher was sitting on the bridge at the end of New Lane for a short while and 100+ Golden plovers were very well camouflaged in a ploughed field nearby. A walk from Lower Pennington Lane car park to the sea wall produced 2 PEREGRINE Falcons but only 2 Slavonian Grebes were visible on the sea. Stopping off at Timsbury on the way to Farlington produced the FERRUGINOUS DUCK and RING-NECKED DUCK very quickly. At Farlington Marshes the AVOCET showed well on the mud west of the main lagoon and some 60 KNOT were nearby. I only saw 1 SHORT-EARED OWL but 3 had been seen during the morning.” WED 30 DEC NEEDS ORE POINT at the mouth of the Beaulieu river on the New Forest shore was visited by Mark Litjens today and as he arrived a splendid BARN OWL crossed his path as a prelude to a seawatch in which he saw 1 EIDER and 8 DIVER SPECIES but a bigger and better bird was waiting for him by the disabled hide – a RAVEN which made its distinctive gruff call and fed on the ground before flying off east.

  • Brook Meadow, Emsworth 2001
    BROOK MEADOW, EMSWORTH 2001 Summary of the week’s news and wildlife observations in the meadow Week 52: Dec 24-30, 2001 WILDLIFE ON THE MEADOW On Monday I spent a few minutes at a favourite spot in Lumley Road, near where the tree root has been extracted, watching a Song Thrush, 4 Blackbirds, a Wren and a Blue Tit having communal bathing session in the shallow Lumley Millstream. I noticed Meadowsweet was still in flower on the river bank. On Boxing Day I had a quick walk round the meadow was delighted to see a Treecreeper feeding in the Willows near the bend in the river. This was only my second sighting of this elusive bird on the meadow. On Saturday morning there was a light covering of snow over the ground and trees, but forecasters said it would not last. I went over to the meadow to take some photos of this rare event before all the snow disappeared. The meadow looked really pretty. While I was there a Little Egret flew up from the river and a Grey Heron stood rather forlornly in the middle of the meadow. I heard Wren, Robin, Blue Tit and Collared Dove singing. ENVIRONMENT I was very suprised this week to find that all the logs had been cleared from the river near the bend. What good samaritan has done this deed, I wonder? PLANTING FOR WATER VOLES Tony Wilkinson told me about a pond management leaflet he had received from Dee Christianses of West Sussex BTCV, which suggested planting Greater Tussock Sedge (Carex paniculata) near water vole habitats to encourage them.

  • Hollins 2000
    WILDLIFE HIGHLIGHTS – 2000 WEEK 52 DEC 25 – 31 BIRDS: SUN 31 DEC It sounds as if Jason Crook was caught out in the appalling wind and rain that set in this afternoon and looks set to spoil many a birder’s New Year outing tomorrow – nevertheless Jason reports that he had a good but brief view of an adult or third winter Ring Billed Gull from the steps leading onto Budds Mound above the sewage outfall – possibly, though he does not suggest it, the same bird that was often seen from Broadmarsh slipway in I think two winters ending in March 1999. From the mound Jason saw the hybrid Ferruginous duck still on Budds Farm pools and a new comer – a first winter male Scaup – and out on the harbour the female Eider. At Farlington Marshes he saw a first winter Kittiwake (is this what Ian Thirlwell saw the other day?) and tells us that three (not four) Avocet have recently been seen on the lake. Among the usual good selection of info on the SOS website I see this evening that the first 16 Fulmar have arrived back at their nesting cliffs between Ovingdean and Saltdean immediately east of Brighton and that a Crane flew north east over Hastings – both reports from Dec 30. Weather driven arrivals in Sussex yesterday included up to seven Whooper Swans in the River Cuckmere valley (just west of Beachy Head) and two Bewick’s plus a Glaucous Gull at Rye where there are now 4 Bitterns and where four redhead Smew and 30+ Whitefront Geese were seen on Dec 29 (the single Waxwing is still in the Winchelsea area and a Green Winged Teal has been seen at the Pevensey Levels).
