Hello there,
Sorry to do this to you but ARRGH! I give up.
I know the pics are awful but maybe one of you can tell me what it is.

Not certain, but possibly Sooty Copper Heodes tityrus

Hi Jen,
It's definately a Copper but not enough detail to give a more accurate diagnosis. Sorry.

I know bog all about butterflies.... but it did look to me rather like a female Common Blue!

Morning

From memory it certainly is a Sooty Copper. More and more impressed at your ID skills chaps!

Thanks
Jen

Ditto!
Glad I didn't commit myself

I was also trying to fit it to a blue. Now I know why it wouldn't quite work.
