Brown Hairstreak eggs - 6 found together

[Lee Hurrell]

My relatives in rural Worcester do a good job of keeping me informed of the local butterfly related press up there. My aunt sends me regular newspaper cuttings and this one arrived yesterday:

In the cutting there's a picture of the 6 eggs together but not, it seems, in the online version.

Previous cuttings have mentioned the recent successes of Brown Hairstreaks at Worcestershire nature reserves (where it's been found at a handful of new sites) and Pearl Bordered Fritillary in the Wyre Forest.

Cheers

Lee
