Brown Hairstreak

Not quite sure about this Blue Butterfly. It's very grey looking with no hint of brown or any orange spots.
I took it at Foxhole clay pits near St. Austell. John
We went to Bristol at the week-end to see our son run in the half-marathon and on the way we stopped at a reserve in Somerset and saw our first ever Brown Hairstreaks, only 2 and one of them was damaged.
Also this badly damaged Silver-Washed Fritillary.








This Canary Shouldered Thorn is also a first for us.

    The butterflies in UK look so different from the ones we have in Hong Kong.

    Another batch of stunning shots, John & Sue. Can`t help with the Blue id, but it`s obviously an aberrant individual.

    The Blue BUtterfly. It has the markings of an Adonis Blue, but the colour isn't quite right unless its a very old one.

    Super selection John showing such clarity of detail. I'll hazard a guess that the blue may be a heavily marked 2nd brood female Holly ... but I could be way off!
