23-24 July - some sunny weather, a few butterflies in the garden included 2 Gatekeepers (8,9), a Red Admiral (7) and a Peacock. A short visit to Ravensroost wood and meadows produced a real bonus, good views of a male Purple Hairstreak low down on an Ash (1,2) - also several Small (4,5) and Essex skippers and seven Silver-washed Fritillaries (3). Dragonflies included two Brown Hawkers. Nearby I managed to photograph a Holly Blue (6) in a hedgerow - I've not managed any shots of this species before.
