Black Hairstreak
 
I am lucky to live less than 45 mins from a reasonably sized Black hairstreak colony. 

 

So despite getting reasonable views in 2008 (pictures below), I returned in June 2009 to try and improve my pictures. 

 I saw about six Hairstreaks and got some reasonable pics.

 
 
 
 

 
 
A visit to Glapthorn Cow Pasture in Northamptonshire on the way home from work during June 2008 was rewarded by these pictures below.
