Small Skipper - first of the year

It's been a good week for Butterflies and it's only Tuesday. Monday we had the first red Admiral of the year and today the first Small Skipper and the first Marbled White. The Small Skipper is a male and the sex brand gives it away as a Small rather than an Essex Skipper - as does the underside of the antennae which can be seen as brown rather than black. Roll on Wednesday.
