A successful trip out today to see Brown Hairstreak at Whitecross Green Wood in Oxfordshire. Individuals were noted in and around the car park, and the track leading south-west from there.
The female is orange underneath and has an orange flash on the upperside forewing:
The male has less orange on the underside and lacks the orange flash on the upper forewing:
The odd Purple Hairstreak were showing, but never quite close enough for a decent image.
There were two Silver-washed Fritillary on show - this one was very tatty.
A family of Common Lizard were quite close to a nest of Hornet located in an old hay bale.
