Green Hairstreak - Via Gellia

I went to the coast yesterday and wasn't sure what to do today but after the usual early morning trip to the moor and then Rowsley I decided on the Via Gellia for butterflies and orchids. It has been very windy today and this is one area that is reasonably sheltered. 
The sunny spells brought the butterflies out and in addition to the Dingy Skipper below I had my first Green Hairstreak of the year I also saw a Brimstone. They looked like they had been on the wing for a while so were slightly battered but still great to see.
