Otherwise it was a bit of a weird day. Numerous Giant Whites and at least ten Purple-washed Skippers were really unusual. On the other hand, I was only able to dig out one Ocola Skipper. Here's a lovely Giant White, another species I can't resist.

A few brief views of a strange haistreak got me all aflustered (Is that a word?). But eventually it stayed put for a photo and proved to be just a sharp Clouded Skipper.
And lastly, here's a Hermes Skipper that could use a good shave.
