Green Hairstreak

Sunny, 23°, light NE.

A Garden Warbler in song on Cholsey Marsh this morning with a Lesser Whitethroat nearby, another near Green Lane and yet another out at Lollingdon. Per AD.

Alan also saw the first Green Hairstreak butterfly of the year today

A good number of butterflies around at the moment with 13 species seen on the wing in the past 2 weeks.

By far the most frequent visitors to the garden recently have been Brimstone and Orange Tip with Holly Blue, Small Tortoiseshell and Peacock in fewer numbers.
