White Cross Green Wood - 22 Augst 2011

A trip out to Oxforsdshire for Brown Hairstreak was met with mixed fortunes as none were found at Piddington Wood or Bernwood Meadow, but fortunately five were seen at White Cross Green Wood including one on my return visit in the afternoon that was flushed from the path that allowed a number of photographs to be taken. Also a late Large Skipper and Silver-washed Fritllary were seen at the same wood. Most butterflies were looking warn apart from one or two fresh looking Common Blues.
