Had what was a great day at work today ( don't often say that , especially on a Saturday!) but I ended with at least 17 brown tail moths ( thanks for help with ID James & Jim!) and among other things a beautiful Purple Hairstreak on the ground as I worked. This was 1 of 3 which were around the tree tops of an old Oak. This was my first sightng of both species and being a bit if a novious to moths and butterflies but I can say I've got hooked to these fantastic creatures!pictures on blog
