Pleasure Amethyst. The males are usually duller in upper forewing colouration whilst the females have a far more noticeable orange patch where the 'eyes' are located. |

Looks like it to me. Its their other wing either has the top chopped off or is closed down so you cant see the spot. I think |

I would say that was spot on Grayling and you have managed to capture a good angle that shows the black tips to the antennae. Great photo and sighting

Dave, I keep taking pictures of Small Skippers in the hope that one is actually an Essex Skipper and that is the first one that I felt probably was. |

It is always great to see a new species and all that snapping away of skipper species has paid off....well done. My first Essex skipper was pure luck....we had stopped off in a layby and i was having a drink outside the car when i spotted a skipper on a thistle so i wandered over and luck would have it the butterfly was showing it's black underside antennae....how lucky was that. |
