Sharpenhoe Clappers

An enjoyable afternoon spent thrashing around in the grassy area on top of the clappers. Saw a few jet-propelled Dark-green Frits, none really photogenic. The highlight of the three hours or so were the freshly emerged Chalkhill Blues. Stunning. Other stuff seen below.

Some Small Skippers. Still haven't worked out how to tell them and Essex apart...

A couple of smart crickets/grasshoppers...

Various moths found in the grass and scrub. Haven't worked out what any of them are called yet though...
