Green Hairstreak
Following a tip from Andy Horton's website I visited Mill Hill this afternoon to hunt for a Green Hairstreak. I saw plenty of Dingy and Grizzled Skippers, Brimstones and Peacocks. At 5pm I climbed the privet covered area above the path at the western end of the lower slope and a Green Hairstreak landed in front of me. After I fired off dozens of shots it headed downhill. Later I came across two grey adders involved in courtship.
