Horseshoe Plantation & Abbots Wood - 10th May

At last after much searching my first Green Hairstreaks (2) of the year at HP in their usual place by the bushes to the east of the wood. Also my first Wall butterfly of 2021 posing on a buttercup. Dingy Skipper numbers are increasing and a single Grizzled Skipper. In the afternoon a quick trip to Abbotts Wood in search of Pearl Bordered Fritillaries resulted in two being seen but no photos unfortunately although I did manage to snap a Red Admiral and male Orange Tip.
