Margie and I headed to Knepp for another attempt to at least hear a Turtle Dove, failed miserably, but as ever with Knepp there was plenty to see. I think the Purple Emperors are just about finished, though we did see some Purple Hairstreaks. The Storks are still about and there were some nice Dragonflies.

| Margie found some nice flowers |
 |
| She also got some Stork Pics |
 |
| We weren't quite sure how to tell the Meadow Browns from the Gatekeepers from the underwing! |
 |
| The Beasts are never far away |
 |
| Margie found this Dragonfly after about twenty minutes of me trying to point out a Purple Hairstreak to her |
 |
| Margie managed to get a Stork in flight pic |
 |
| Grey Heron pretending to be a Stork |
 |
| I was trying to turn this into a Shrike, til I realised it was a Sparrow, you don't expect to see em in the middle of nowhere |
 |
| Impressive Rack on this Fallow Deer |
 |
| Beasts lurking in the woods |
 |
| Purple Hairstreak |
 |
| My take on the impressive Dragonfly, some sort of Hawker maybe! |
 |
| Beautiful Demoiselle |
 |
| Closest we got to a TD, a Stock Dove! |
 |
| Another impressive Dragon |
 |
| Red Kite |
 |
| Speckled Wood |
 |
| I think a young Coot or maybe a Moorhen |
So no Turtle Doves but always plenty to see at Knepp!!
