Large Skipper

This set of photos where taken last week when the weather was a little brighter and it wasn't raining like it has been for the past week (feels like a week anyway).

This is a Large Skipper (still really small if you ask me) and similar to the small skipper I posted a few days back.

These too are manic little things and don't stay still for long, this one was quite good to me and stayed long enough to get a few shots off.

Photos taken with a Nikon D70 + Nikkor 28-100 and x4 macro adaptor.

Lets hope the weather picks up and brightens up a bit.

Mike.

    Great photos! Your shots are so sharp and clear it really brings out how fuzzy they are. I love their wing formations and most of all the big dark eyes!

    If this weather doesn't cheer up soon, I'm gonna take up kite flying and gardening!

    Great photo of the skipper. They are difficult to shoot.
