This summer we have experienced Skippers both large and small.
Some perched nectering on flowers and others on grasses yet each a delight with their big round eyes. Which by the way are all the better to see they prying photographer attempting to sneak up and photograph or just a good look at this wonderful little guys.
Although most quickly flew away we were able to photograph or two along the way.
Now a few weeks have past and the abundance of these little creatures has declined. Skipper season is short but definitely sweet.
A bit bit like summer don’t you think?
Happy Friday and have a great weekend.
