Nice picture with great detail.
In Warwickshire we have small, large and Essex skippers together with Burnet moths and dozens of ringlets and meadow browns. Very few whites, tortoiseshells or peacocks and just one Comma so far.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

I never tire of seeing my tiny fellow souls closeup and in detail, such as this fine specimen. Like.

I think perhaps we are lucky because many of the farmers don't plough right up to the fence or hedge but leave a 3 - 4 meter strip to go wild around the edges of their fields. Corners get left too and we consequently see flowers we thought were extinct, together with a huge collection of creeping and flying things that pollinate the oilseed rape and various bean crops. Interestingly, there are a lot of bomb craters too, the edges of which have become small copses of trees over the years with small pools of water in the holes.
