I did see more elsewhere, Pete, although the morning I spent at your inland site was exceptionally windy, meaning that photo opportunities were limited.petesmith wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 10:29 amDavid I am so glad that you found Zeller's Skipper at that spot! Great to know that they seem to be established there, even if only in small numbers. I am hoping you saw more elsewhere...I shall await further installments with eager anticipation
By the way - are you sure that ragged SW Frit isn't a tatty Cardinal?
As for the Fritillary, I thought it was Cardinal at first when I saw it in flight (I saw 4 of this species during the trip), but when I got near it, the butterfly was smaller than I would expect for pandora and it was behaving in a docile manner and settling regularly, whereas all the Cardinals I saw were racing round chasing other butterflies.
