Dingy Skipper

This morning I went to art in Oswestry then this afternoon picked up F and we went to Llanymynech Rocks with a local butterfly group. 

This is a dingy skipper, a small (29mm) butterfly which is sadly decreasing in number,  dingy skipper, green hairstreak as well as the more common ones - orange tip, brimstone,peacock, green veined white, speckled wood. 

It's always been a good place for butterflies that I have visited for many years but numbers are down now and two species (grayling and small pearl-bordered fritillary) are now extinct on the site. It's very sad.
