Doc Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Went to Toton Sidings today as it's been reported as the only Nottingham site so far this year for Green Hairstreaks. They love sun so just waited until the sun emerged and with it 4 green hairstreaks. Unfortunately they spent almost all their time high in the buckthorn but a few of them made a descent lower for me to grab a few frames. Out of 67 frames only had a few I was pleased with. I'm now on 36 out of 57 British butterflies but my goal is to photograph each one. +Bino-viewer, Tweedledee and Bottletopburly 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
