SPRING 2020 saw a long period of fine weather. Perfect for studying butterflies. My first photos of Green Hairstreak, said to be the only green butterfly in the UK. It was late July when I photographed this female Brimstone whose pale underwing is green, in flight she shows yellow. Several photos of butterflies mating- that's the time to photograph them, when they're settled. I've a feeling there are three dingy skippers in one mating sequence below, wings so involved it's hard to tell and it's a small butterfly. In 2o18/2019 there were small skipper. I could find none on Scout Scar, in the miccro-habitat where I knew they had been previously.
What will be the highlights of spring 2021?
