Sometimes you can be lucky enough to find a female Common Blue that is an absolute jewel! Such as this one, which was at Old Sulehay a few days ago.

Two new locations for Black Hairstreaks have been discovered so far this weekend in Northamptonshire. Please keep checking those blackthorns as there must be more out there. White-letter Hairstreaks are also now out so please check any elms for new populations of those too!

I popped into Cambridgeshire today to look for the Great Reed Warbler at RSPB Ouse Fen. What a great bird! The other wildlife at the reserve didn't disappoint either!

It’s was great to record 31 Green Hairstreaks at Collyweston Quarries at the weekend. The highest number recorded at a single site in Northants since 2012!
