The only way is Essex

Having previously believed I hadn't seen an Essex Skipper, the last on my Sussex list, I've just found out I've seen one after all. Looking back at some old photos I found this little fella (or lady). The black tips underneath the antennae very distinctive - though how I missed this I don't know! Makes you wonder how many Essex are mistankenly identified as Small Skippers? They are probably much more widespread than we think. So I have now seen all regularly breeding Butterflies in Sussex.
