LESSER EMPEROR - on Lake north of the Drayton to Sutton Courtenay Road - 26 August

Adrian Parr has just been in touch to point out that the apparently old or worn female Emperor, reported by Brian Walker on 26 August, was in fact a female Lesser Emperor!

This is the first record of Lesser Emperor in the county since 2011, and quite possibly the first record ever of a female!
