Green Hairstreak (Callophrys rubi)
While I started birding on the Patch in 2015, I didn’t start properly recording the butterflies I found until 2016. Here is my current patch list which is pretty much all the butterflies that have been seen in recent years. The closest things to omissions are: Wall Brown (on the Patch list but hasn’t been seen for years), and Long-tailed Blue (seen in September 2019 on a nearby street).
