This one is definitely a Gatekeeper

I’m sure that yesterday's butterfly was a Meadow Brown. 

I went to Elford Walled Garden this morning. It was overcast so there weren’t so many butterflies but it was peaceful and good for the soul. 

I spoke to a friend there who really knows about butterflies (he hatched some swallowtails successfully a few years ago.) He agreed with me  about the Meadow Brown, as did one contributor from the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust Facebook page. The behaviour is different and just using the number of pupils to identify isn’t quite enough.

Obligingly, this Gatekeeper amid the vegetables posed for my shot.
