Greens and The Emperor

Alnwick Moor this morning, not the usual area but parking on the Abberwick road near the junction with the Brizlee and exploring the area to the north west, Stewart had himself a pheromone lure for Emperor Moths. 

This was incredible, no sooner was it out of his pocket we had a moth - we continued and were able to photograph and enjoy several individuals of this spectacular moth.

Looking back to Brizlee

Green Hairstreak

Green Hairstreak butterflies were also in the area, my absolute favorite. We'd not seen them in this spot so it felt like a new discovery
