A Little Skipper

I am overwhelmed with all the hearts and stars for yesterday’s 2000th Blip. Thank you, you’re a very special group of people.

I wandered over the back this morning, going through our newly created garden gate, but goodness it is seriously out of control with brambles and nettles.

I was very patient, looking for anything other than the many Ringlets that were flitting about without a care in the world.

Eventually my patience paid off as I spotted one Marbled White, and then another, but quickly abandoned them when I caught sight of this little butterfly. In previous years there have been dozens of them, but sadly not this year. It sat very still whilst I took several pictures before lifting off and disappearing from sight to go and feed elsewhere.

It looks much better in large view.
