Thanks Wurzel. I don't think it's possible to find a better specimen than that
beautiful female BH. Still after a male posing like that!
Wish you had been there Katrina, with all the time in the world for photo's.
Thanks for the score of 11 Dave, but I'm reluctant to mess with the ' Hulme ' system.
I remember, several years ago I showed him an apparently immaculate BH shot on
my camera which he marked down to a measly 9.5. I felt robbed and deflated!
Two more shots from Shipton Bellinger on 4th Aug.
A resting Oak Eggar moth on a wild parsley stem, it was there for a couple of hours.
Also a shot of the dense, very tall, wild parsnip growing along the length of the hedge.
Unless you are lucky enough to see a Brown Hairstreak land on it, try searching this lot
for one already down!
