This afternoon I decided to find out where this dratted nuisance had come from, cos this isn't the first time it has turned up in the garden and I don't want it eating my hedge. A two minute stroll up to the end of the road and I had the culprit or, at least, the master tree. Immediately there was a Brown Hairstreak to hand, or to the finger, rather. It was feeding on some clover so I gave it a poke because it wasn't at a very good angle for a picture as with my bad back I couldn't get in close enough and the cheeky blighter had the nerve to climb aboard, thus making it impossible to get a picture!

I spotted another rascal in the undergrowth pretending to oviposit on blackthorn so flicked off the first and took a mug shot of the second.

She then flew off into the master tree and was pursued by, I believe, three males. Serve her right, the floosie.

That was 10 minutes hard work, but worth it. If I catch them in my garden again I'll give them a piece of my mind!
