Yesterday I saw my first hobbies (2) over the reserve. Hope they are alright. Ron and I saw a crow land on their old nest site earlier in the month.
Today was the first really warm day, and I thought it would be fun to find green hairstreaks. Indeed I think I found 2 of them high on a Holly tree behind the tool store. It could just have been one, that was incredibly quick at relocating, but I don't think so. The hollies have an enormous amount of flowers at the moment, and must be the largest current source of nectar. You had to really get your eye in to see them. The green is slightly different from that of the Holly leaves.
There were a couple of male holly blues there as well, fighting it out.
Brimstones ( male and female) and a speckled wood completed the company
