A new season and fresh hopes of finding something special at my butterfly 'hotspot'...
Today is a very hot day indeed, so I visited my secret rough meadow-corner, near to the village church, and found some fast-flying and restless Large Skipper butterflies. Hard to get a shot, but I eventually managed these... I'm going to have to get Moira along here with her super new camera.
Skipper butterflies are often mistaken for moths because of the peculiar way they hold their wings at rest... rather like jet aircraft.
