Black Hairstreak DSC_1063
Black Hairstreak / satyrium pruni. Glapthorn Cow Pastures, Northamptonshire. 14/06/17.
Lots of activity from these beauties yesterday around their favoured nectaring 'stations', the Dewberry brambles. They seem to be on the wing earlier this year, and some already looked rather worn. I'm pleased I decided to visit Glapthorn when I did as things are moving on apace there and BHs have such a short flight period to photograph them in!
