The unseasonal cold weather finally broke so, with nothing in between, it changed to hot hot. Haven't seen a cloud for days (supposed to change tonight). That's a problem as the light is so strong. Butterflies are comfortable in the heat so we visited a local colony of Green Hairstreaks near to Pitlochry. Quite a climb to the site but, along with Speckled Yellow moths we found the thriving colony and took a few pictures. Once you get your eye in they are not too difficult to find. The male hold station but if another Hairstreak passes it is immediately off so there is a sort of musical chairs going on
