A grizzled skipper butterfly resting on a piece of Cotswold stone at Breakheart Quarry near Dursley in Gloucestershire. This was the first time i'd managed to find and photograph this tiny and uncommon butterfly.
Battered by summer storms or eaten by predators, many butterflies don't make it to the end of summer. Others like this Skipper on the Purple Coneflower, are tattered but live another day.
Large Skipper - Ochlodus venatus
Thank you to all who take the time to Comment/fav etc...Always appreciated.
Mardon is the name of this very tiny skipper of only one inch of size. Just watch the size of the flower, and then see the Skipper, you will understand what I mean about its size! The Mardon Skipper is currently listed as an endangered species, so I was very pleased to see them everywhere.
I usually have to chase butterflies all over the place to photograph them, I was very lucky with this tiny one.
If you want to know more about the wide variety of skippers, this is site is very interesting:

Photography is my passion, and nature photography is my favorite.
I have been in Explore for more that a hundred times, and it is an awesome experience to have your photos showcased in such a special way.
I'm in many groups, and I only add my photos to them if they are not private.
I thank your for coming today, for leaving a comment, and make a favorite of yours this photo, (if that is the case) thanks again!
The best part of this forum is the contacts and friends that I have made over the years, that have the same passion for this art that is called photography!

Happy weekend!
I shall be off Flickr for a few days from the weekend.
I have seen quite a few of these skippers in the last few days on many of my colorful flowers. They have long tails and a lovely greenish body.
Thank you for your visit, comment or fave. All are much appreciated. Thank you also to all who invite my photos to their groups.
