Having been away for over a month it was time to get back into some home-land nature watching. The invitation to go out looking for White-letter Hairstreak was too tempting to resist.
With just a couple of hours window when good weather was expected it was a close run thing, but with patience and persistence Malcolm Sally and myself managed to find at least four butterflies on and around elm trees at Northward Hill.
As long as the elms survive the butterflies will hopefully hold on in this local patch for the future.
