butty bonus

I was doing some Bird atlas work today (a Timed Tetrad Visit in TQ34L) when I noticed some green hairstreaks - a new species for me. I decided to return in the p.m. to get some photos. It turned out to be a good spot. My photos aren't all wonderful but the real bonus was that I found some dingy skippers there, too - my second butty tick of the day!

I realise its not Surrey, so I hope people don't mind me mentioning it in passing.

Went to Noar Hill, Hants, today, and managed the following:

Holly Blue

Pyrausta aurata

Early Purple Orchids

Tree Pipit

Lesser Whitethroat

and......
