Small skipper

Sporting a rather swollen knee I decided to go to Kithurst hill late this afternoon when the rain finally stopped. As usual I wasn't disappointed, and despite it still being damp there were plenty of butterflies around. I decided to blip this Small skipper Thymelicus sylvestris a common little butterfly in these parts, but a photogenic one. 
I have added a shot of a Meadow brown Maniola jurtina in my extras as despite being the most numerous butterfly in this area, it is really flighty (or deep in the grasses) and nearly impossible to photograph.
