small skipper

A blustery start to the week, but much nicer on the temperature front! And we'd booked tickets for another visit to RHS Hyde Hall, and happier to find it much less crowded than of late! 

Wasn't sure we'd see much butterfly action but did spot some Ringlets and Small Skippers - getting a shot was a bit difficult in the wind! Lots of ducklings and goslings about too - their populations seem to be thriving!
