Grizzled Skipper

 
 
 
Grizzled Skippers are reasonably common in the midlands, it's just a case of knowing where to look.  The two pictures above were taken at the Butterfly Conservation reserve at Ryton in Warwickshire in May 2009.
 
 
 
The two pictures above were taken from Twywell Hills and Dales Country Park in Northamptonshire in May 2009, which is a great place for quite a few species of butterfly and moth.
These include:
Dingy Skipper,  and  Green Hairstreak in May.  Marbled White and   Six-spot Burnet in July and August.
