Yay! Buff Tip moth larvae on sallow in Savernake Forest today. They make me feel 12 years old again...

A lovely female Brown Hairstreak to end the day yesterday at Shipton Belinger.

@BC_Glos I visited Daneway twice recently, the Large blue numbers appeared well down on last year ☹️

@David72037269 @europebutterfly @Greenwings Thanks for your help David 🙂

Would anyone be able to assist in identifying these butterflies seen in Italy (Aosta region) on a family holiday. Some of these look familiar, but I don’t want to guess as I am unaccustomed with European species.
Thank you

A Brown Hairstreak Day at Shipton Belinger.
Lucky to see 4 females including this one, more males also seen.
Many other species also present while waiting for the Hairstreaks 😃

A first for me at the weekend, Scotch Argus at Smardale Gill 😃
Not much sunshine, some were active with many more settled in the grass.
A lovely place to be with so much to see apart from the butterflies!

Been looking forward to seeing these all year, a fresh Chalkhill Blue, arguably our most beautiful butterfly!?

On a visit to Burnwoods meadows I encountered these two butterflies. A wonderful black hairstreak and a cute small skipper! : )
