Small Skipper - Thymelicus sylvestris

An early morning shot taken at Draycott Sleights.

 

Its been a while since I've been out with the camera, mainly due to work commitments, however last night I went into Bristol with my daughter Jenny, chasing sheep and whale spotting and then this morning up early to hopefully photograph butterflies in dew. It wasn't quite cool enough for a heavy dew, although there is some dew on this skipper you do have to look quite hard to see it.

 

Best viewed very large.
