A particular Oak at the entrance to Faggs wood carpark, Orlestone has been attracting many Red Admiral and daily Purple Emperor.
We visited in the evening and found both Light and Dark Crimson Underwing. I also saw LCU feeding at 10am.
There are no obvious sap runs but the tree appears under stress
