Brown Hairstreak

Post by Petera »

Hi, hope I have got this right. I believe this is a brown hairstreak, which was taken at Alners Gorse in Dorset

This was taken back on the 7th of August, and not been back there recently. Last weekend went to a couple of places, both DWT sites, Kilwood & Higher Hyde Heath, though not much about due to the wet weather. I am still antequated in that I still use a film camera and not digital, so takes time to develop & then scan to the PC.
