Brown Hairstreaks........

16 Aug - I was surprised to get views of Brown Hairstreaks this afternoon, as I called in at Shipton Bellinger on the off-chance after the Winterbourne Stone Curlew trip - there were 3-4, both male and female, in the top of an Ash Tree (the same tree as last year!) difficult to photograph as being blown around in the wind (2-4).....also good views of Speckled Wood (5,6).
