I went to Over Cutting in Cambs this morning and eventually saw 2 Grizzled Skippers on the ground. There were quite a few small day flying moths there, some of which looked really similar to Grizzled Skipper in flight. One nice moth seen was Netted Pug.

I've just finished reading 'The Butterfly Isles' by Patrick Barkham. This is a superb book and certainly one of the best I've ever read.
