Green Hairstreak (Callophrys rubi).
One of the great sights in the late Spring is watching Green Hairstreaks battling with each other.
This is the same individual that I had photographed a couple of days earlier and posted a few days ago.
Instead of being on his own, which he was that day, he had now been joined by several others and he was trying hard to keep his bit of the bush as his own territory.
Fortunately, I have this valley within walking distance from home so I can see them on my daily walk.
