Finally, we have 2 unusual Skippers that were photographed at the Small Quarry. Photos 1 and 2 show what looks rather like a Red-underwing Skipper – Spialia sertorius – Törpe-busalepke. Photo 3 looks like a Cinquefoil Skipper (Pyrgus cirsii), BUT..... this species is only found in Western Europe (Spain, France, Germany). If any 'Skipper experts' can positively identify these two species, I would be very grateful.
