I'm not an expert Shirley, I just went on line and looked up butterfly ID's. I'll check it out again though.

Yes you are right Shirley, Gatekeeper it is. Oh the joys of getting old and senile. I have updated the image. Thanks for putting me straight.

I'm sure you're not old and senile, Treetop! I did the Butterfly count for a couple of years and got to recognise a few, Gatekeeper was one of them in my garden. Barely seen any Butterflies at all this year, just a few Cabbage Whites ... shame.

Well my wife thinks I am. Old and senile that is. Seriously Shirley we have had literally hundreds of butterflies and bees. They seem to favour the Escallonia.

Since you posted this photo I saw a Red Admiral butterfly in the garden ... then another flew out of the garage! It's a start!

Yes it's a start Shirley, they do tend to like my Escallonia.
