Lee Mount - 20th July

Our first Purple Hairstreak/s late afternoon fluttering around the top of the oaks. Maybe just one, possibly two at the most. Great to see buzzing about and landing on the leaves just for a brief moment, then off again.

Earlier  from the overnight trap
One each - Clouded Border, Green Pug, Willow Beauty, Common Wave, Smoky Wainscot, Purple Clay, Double Square-spot, Acleris forsskaleana, Pseudargyrotoza conwagana. 
Light Emerald x2
Common Rustic agg x 2

Plus a few others still here from the day before.!

We used to get Purple Hairstreaks coming down to our mini garden ponds (half barrel) to drink when we lived at Park Road in Elland :)
