I'm no good with ID on flies Trevor; but a cracking set once again.
Never seen a Green Hairstreak before.

Thanks Keith.I always have trouble ID'ing 'flies' the pictures in my ref. books never seem to match the pictures that I've taken! lol.

It seems to be a good year for Green Hairstreaks they're everywhere at the moment! (More than I've seen in previous years).
