HOLME PIERREPONT.
Another unsuccessful go for the Green Hairstreaks was preceded by a circuit of Blotts where I fortuitously got two Linnets for the price of one….

….and a lark ascending.

In searching for the elusive butterfly, I was distracted by a few flowers: I suppose this ranks as Wild Pansy Viola tricolor but mmmm – only two colours so not the genuine article which is apparantly rather rare.
