Great Spotted Woodpecker
Meadow brown
Brimstone?

Brimstone is correct, the other two guesses are not correct though.

 

[Alexander Stöhr]

Lesser spotted Woodpecker then?

 

[Birdy1]

Or maybe a Little Owl?

 

[Bewick]

Lesser spotted Woodpecker then?

No, though they once bred in the area. Seems like the increase of Ring-necked parakeets in the park caused them to vacate.

 

[Birdy1]

Gatekeeper for the other butterfly?

 

[Bewick]

Or maybe a Little Owl?

Yes, accidentally flushed it. Sadly, could not get any good images before it disappeared. Still a great find. My first for the UK.
