Sod's law strikes again, Mark. Silver washed fritillaries also seen today in the woods around Walton Common (ST428738). Far too lively to get any decent shots though. There are supposed to be dark green fritillaries on the common itself but I didn't see a single one. However, it's a nice common to v...

Essex skippers (again!)
My local patch has large and small skippers. I have positively identified a single male essex there, although not got a shot of one yet as it flew away after I identified it but before I could get a picture of it.

There's a thick black/dark brown leading edge to this rear wing on the small, and this leading edge is diffuse/broken on the essex. This shows up q...

Comma
Summer commas are everywhere in my local patch now. Here's one I snapped this afternoon, near Siston Brook, Warmley with my new Canon S3. Hope you like.

I think the latter sighting might be a ruby tiger moth.
