It then flew into the low scrub and laid an egg on the low blackthorn branch, before it flew off, before many of the other walkers had a good view of it. Silver-washed Fritiilary and Purple Hairstreak were seen later on the walk.

Bookham Common
The last Surrey Butterfly Conservation walk of the year, for Brown Hairstreak at Bookham Common, where i have only had a brief view of one last year. The day started on the M25, just after the slip road at junction 9 a crew change was needed, then onto Bookham Common. The waiting party were looking around the car park, and had good views of Purple Hairstreak and a Clouded Yellow shot past. Over the Railway footbridge, into the Blackthorn area. A few minutes a Brown Hairstreak was seen by Joan and myself, I managed to get the following pictures.
