Silver-spotted Skippers close Butterfly season


 
 







On Sunday I had a cracking morning down with Lloyd in Oxfordshire observing which will probably be my last species of 2020. The Silver-spotted Skipper took a bit a finding to start with (we practically started in the dark) but as the sun emerged we were treated to huge numbers along the Chalkhill Blues.

Red Kites soared above us during the whole morning and seemed only too aware of those sandwiches possibly being left behind by visitors.

I will do a summary of my butterfly year in a future blog.
