Brown Hairstreak female at Sutton Bellinger

Post by nomad »

Here are a few photographs of a female Brown Hairstreak at Shipton Bellinger in August 2012. This elusive species showed well here this year. I was lucky to spend a hour with one female, as she took turns feeding on the ripe blackberries and basking in low sunlight.

Best Wishes over the festive season, Peter
