Essex Skipper

I offer this as the best of my shots from early morning visit to the allotment site with "stevvi" who chose macro lens and managed to get in really close to some subjects who sat perfectly still long enough for a close approach.  Timed well at 07.00hrs for the weather conditions I think as some seemed sleepy and warming themselves in the early sun.  Walked dog after our safari and there were quite a few more on the wing but very lively.
