Re: Small Coppers
Lovely pictures, Paul!
That's the great thing about one's local patch - you know exactly when each species emerges each year. It will be interesting to see how long it is before the first females fly.

Re: Small Coppers
Great to meet you today, Paul...
this is the best of the GH pics I took:
I then went on to Ellerburn and saw plenty of Dingy Skipper and a Small Copper
On the way back to the car (camera in bag) I saw a slow-worm and then very unexpectedly, another green hairstreak! Thats a first for me at EB.
Regards, Chris

Hi Chris,
Yep, good day indeed. Nice shots.
Back at home, the HBs were more amenable this pm..
