I think your IDs are correct, Eric. Photos 3 and 4 are definitely Small Skipper (you can see that the sex brand angles away from the edge of the forewing). Photos 1 and 2 (which are the same photo) and 5 and 6 are more difficult but based on the wing size, shape and veination, I'd agree with you.
Cheers,

Many thanks Pete, sorry about mix up with 1&2 I did have another one but no worries. 5&6 were taken in a known place for Essex skippers (Cley beach road) so I did hope they were right. Eric
