A successful and enjoyable solo visit to the Alners Gorse Butterfly Conservation Reserve in Dorset, where I was able to see and photograph both the White Letter Hairstreak and the Brown Hairstreak.
I met some interesting characters as well, who were doing the same thing; it was shame that Fuzz wasn’t there, but when I called him whilst packing up to leave in the Alner Gorse car park and told him of the sightings, he unbeknownst to me abandoned whatever he was doing and headed there from Devon with Tonya in tow. During the afternoon, he also got the sightings.
