On 25th April 2020, local nature enthusiasts, Lisa and Andy, found Green Hairstreak butterflies on Adel Moor – the first finding of this species outside Otley Chevin in the Leeds area.

In April last year, a small colony was found again on Adel Moor, and we are delighted that a Green Hairstreak was found on Adel Moor today. For more information about this species, please see our blog entries for April 2020 and 2021 – links given the end of this post, after the photographs.
