Title: More butterflies !
Post by: MagpieDi on September 04, 2005, 22:34:59
Think these are Wall Browns.  If so, they are quite a rare visitor up here in the High Pennines, tho' common in the South, according to the butterflywatch website.  :)

Top two are Wall as you thought, the bottom two are Gatekeeper.

Lovely piccies. I agree with Robert but would like to point out that Gatekeeper is also known as Hedge Brown.
