Pretty sure that these pictures are of a Grayling (Seen at Cley, Norfolk) and either a Small or Essex Skipper. Could someone confirm both the IDs for me please
Thanks
Paul

I reckon that's an Essex Skipper (you can just make out the dark "dipped in black paint" antennal tips) and yes, that's definitely a Grayling!
Cheers,

Looks like an Essex Skipper to me (the sharp black antenna tips are visible in the photo)
Definitely a Grayling...nice photo...they can be hard to get pics of...being so mobile and skittish!
