Black and White-letter Hairstreaks



9 and 23 June - June has been generally cool and unsettled with rain, but on 2 dry days with some sun I went in seach of Black Hairstreaks. On the 2nd, I had brief views of two high in some blackthorn at Whitecross Green, the on 23rd at nearby Asham Meads, one Black Hairstreak was nectaring on a low thicket in a sheltered corner and I managed some photos. Also at this site, several White-letter Hairstreaks were flying around the top of an ash tree in an elm hedgerow, too high for the camera.
