Red Admiral and Green Hairstreak

At long last I've finally seen my first red admiral of the year over Saltwells - albeit somewhat later than normal. Maybe I just haven't been looking hard enough! And to bag a first double, I also spotted a green hairstreak among the gorse on Netherton Hill.

Butterfly watch - green hairstreak, green-veined white, holly blue, small heath and small tortoiseshell
