Brown Hairstreaks at Shipton Bellinger!




13 August - an afternoon visit in sunny conditions to the edge of Salisbury Plain, and views of 2 female Brown Hairstreaks, the first brief, the second very obliging low on brambles (photos). Fantastic views. Also seen - Comma, Speckled Wood, Small Heath, Gatekeeper, Small Tortoiseshell, Painted Lady, Peacock. A Common Hawker was flying very actively up and down the hedgerow. En route, a Hobby was over Collingbourne Ducis by the A338.
