First skipper that I saw - a Marbled Skipper ?
Red underwing Skippers ?
This obligingly tame Grizzled Skipper let me study its underwings - possibly Oberthur's ?
And I managed underwing and overwing of this specimen - Safflower ('clothes peg' on hindwing) ?
and another Safflower ?
leaving these 2 Grizzled's puzzling me; less strongly marked hindwings than the 'Oberthur's' above, so possibly Alpine ?
and from the Auvergne, an Essex Skipper (black antennae) and a female Lulworth (paw print on upper wings)
thanks again
PS - My IT skills are modest; I've been using uploads to gallery - how are others adding photos to posts minus the photo properties footer ?
