THIS time last year I wrote that I only knew of three localities in the Ribble Valley where the green hairstreak butterfly'might be found, all on high ground with lots of bilberry plants. During mid-May I saw two adults at a fourth location, Newton Fell, but among heather rather than bilberry. There is only one generation a year with the


wingspan of only 33mm. It takes short swift flights, enabling the brown upper wing to be seen, but when it rests it closes its wings and the green underside makes it very difficult to distinguish from the leaves. Eggs are laid during May and June and hatch

Government cutbacks in the funding of organisa­ tions such as the Nature Conservancy Council are therefore a cause for concern.
