White Letter Hairstreak
White Letter Hairstreak / satyrium w-album. Cloud Wood, Leicestershire. 10/07/18.
I enjoyed a couple of photography sessions with a small WLH colony back in July.
In the heat of the afternoon they, (max 4 seen at any one time) would descend to nectar on bramble flowers. They always seemed extremely lethargic so I was able to get very close without disturbing them. Whenever they decided they'd had enough of one flower, their movement was invariably just a short flutter to the next. I’ve never found this species to be so obliging before!
