New Sighting
It was Odes and Toads today at this location. The butterfly numbers and species have crashed here from just a few days ago even though the nectar is abundant.
The grass skipper below is Skipper sp. I'm leaning towards N Broken Dash over Dun mostly because of the faint tawny tones along the leading edge of the FW.
