Ont'ops around Flints Moor

I have only managed one male Emperor Moth here this year so far, it seems to be scarce up here yet only a few miles away at Norland I used to see it regularly as well as finding larvae and pupa on a regular basis ?

Latticed Heath is very noticable on the moor with hundreds seen every day as I cross the moor and Manshead with the dog on our daliy hikes

Butterflies seen so far this year on the moor are : Green Hairstreak (one only) Small Heath and Small copper in small numbers most days, a few Orange tips and whites, Peacock and Small Tortoiseshell

A nice varied mix in the garden MV so far but very very few micros and nothing of especial note so far in the macros. A better year to be honest than I was expecting up here after 4 months of snow and the deluge in May after the frosts in April.
