18th July 2022 - Polly M was very happy to spot a Purple Hairstreak butterfly flying low just above the lawn this morning. Whilst quite commonly found around oak trees, this butterfly is normally only glimpsed flying high in the canopy, and so seeing it close up was quite a treat, making identification a good deal easier.
The slight damage to one wing, allowed the dark colour of the upper wing to be glimpsed
