July wildlife on the Marshes

Speckled Wood

Cormorant

Ringlet – female

Essex Skipper

Six-spot Burnet moth

Small Tortoiseshell

Little Egret

Thanks go to Chamara for this lovely set of photos – hope I’ve identified them correctly (not sure about the Skipper?!)

Edit – David Cottridge has confirmed it is an Essex Skipper and the dark brown butterfly is a female Ringlet (I couldn’t see the rings but I should have noticed the rounded edge of the hindwing!)
