Brown Hairstreak

Post by wclinch »

On Friday 27th I photographed a single female Brown Hairstreak at Ravensroost Wood in Wiltshire. I revisted the wood today (Sunday 29th) but did not see any BH. A Holy Blue was seen in the carpark and a small copper in the meadow.

Regards
Wayne

Super pic, Wayne. I guess you're the Wayne I met there. :)
I spent at least an hour wandering round the hedges and got nothing for my troubles except wet feet and a couple of horsefly bites. Where in the wood did you see it?

Eccles,

I saw the BH close to where I met you.

Go through the carpark gate into the meadow and follow the hedge on your right pass the two oak trees. The BH was about 15m past the second Oak tree.

Thanks. I'll probably get up there again during the coming week if the forecast good weather makes it.

Unsuccessful again today during a 30min lunchtime search.
