Usually butterflies aren’t the most obliging of subjects to record but this one landed and “posed” right in front of me.

Large Skipper, Ochlodes venata.

Picture taken June 23.

Thanks to http://www.wildlifesightings.co.uk/ and Simon at http://felbrigg-nature.blogspot.co.uk/ for confirming the identification.
