I just have snapped (during the grass mowing) this Chequered Skipper in our garden!

This is why I have left out places with the nectaring plants, above all Ajuga.

Today I have seen:
- a Brimstone (but one hasn't posed for a photo) :(
- Commas
- a Large Tortoiseshell sucking the sap of the tree (probably damaged by the frost)
- Small Tortoiseshells
- Peacocks
- and Map Butterflies (regrettably without the photos).

P.S.: I month ago a rare Bicolored Shrew -Crocidura leucodon was snatched to the mousetrap in the projecting roof which I use as a glove storage of the straw and hay.
