Mill Hill adders and Grizzlies

Grizzled Skipper, Pyrgus malvae


This afternoon I had to visit Mill Hill in case Dingy Skippers had appeared. There were a number of Grizzled Skippers, I saw 3, and Neil spied 4. I also saw a Comma, several Peacocks and a Small White. The adders were the highlight, and I spotted two black and two grey ones. The grey ones were the most visible, and I was able to observe them moving rapidly around their territory, feeding on insects occasionally.
