Two images of Dingy Skippers from Shona sent to us with the following comments:

I was surprised to see four Dingy Skippers at Badbury Rings earlier today 31/07/2020. My butterfly books tell me that a partial second brood can occur in the South in a good summer, so maybe I shouldn’t have been so surprised? Here are photos of two of them – the first is male, the second is female, both looking fairly fresh, just a bit tatty in places.
