White-letter Hairstreak (Satyrium w-album) is a priority species in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan and is classed as Endangered on the Butterfly Red List for Great Britain. We have only seen a White-letter Hairstreak on the wildlife site once and that was in July 2019 on a thistle flower alongside the public footpath at the top of the Downlee Lodge field and near to where brambles grow on the railway embankment.
