I am pleased with these captures as this was the only opportunity I have had to snap a few pics as the Holly blues have been flying around and out of my garden....until today! 30/07/20.
One that I would have liked to have seen at Highgate Common!
No luck on my visit but the poster is nice!
The month of July seemed to fly by!
Definitely not a Large Skipper. It's either a female Small or Essex Skipper. From above the males could easily be separated by the shape of the scent gland but females are trickier without being able to see the underside of the antennae tips, which are jet black in Essex. I think it's probably a small skipper especially if it's the same individual in flight with the Peacock.
ReplyDeleteSome lovely shots!
Thank you for your ID comments, they are much appreciated.
DeleteI cannot recall it being the same individual as the one with the Peacock. So Small Skipper it is then, thank you!
Lovely butterfly imnages Pam, I especially like the Peacock with Skipper in flight!
ReplyDeleteHad a Meadow Brown in the garden yesterday.......don't think there'll be too many flying today!
Keep dry matey!!!
Thank you for your kind comments Ruth!
DeleteThe Peacock and Skipper was one of those lucky images when umpteen shots are taken 'just in case' maybe one image is a good one!
Good news with the Meadow Brown in your garden, I get an occasional one, very occasional!
What a wet week it has been, hopefully the Bank Holiday weekend will be drier!
Enjoy whatever the weather my friend.
