Another Gatekeeper
by PeterKR
Also known as Hedge Brown, since this is where I saw this one recently.

(Fairly heavy crop as the butterfly was quite small !)

Many thanks for the kind comments.
There were quite a few of these fluttering around that afternoon but it was a case of trying to find one that settled for long enough nearby !
Luckily these 'Gatekeepers' were settling with wings open as against the Large Whites which kept their wings closed and also only settled for such a short time that by the time you got there they were off again ! "Can't win 'em all !"
Thanks again
Peter
