Black Hairstreak / satyrium pruni. Glapthorn Cow Pastures, Northamptonshire. 14/06/17.
The Glapthorn Black Hairstreaks put on a good show when I visited this week. Individuals sat out for long periods nectaring on Dewberry flowers. However, their habit of moving in circles around a flowerhead whilst feeding, plus angling their bodies against the sunlight, meant image making was extremely challenging and tested my patience!
