Male Gatekeeper

A busy day today cleaning the kitchen before our house sitters arrive on Friday.  It certainly needed it!  We also went to our new local in Northleach for lunch with friends and so I had to continue cleaning when I got home.  

I spotted this butterfly on our quick walk with Ivy this afternoon and believe it's a male gatekeeper because of the brands on its forewings which a female does not have.  It's amazing what one learns when blipping and then googling to find out what it is you've taken a photo of!  He was very patient and waited while I got closer and closer to get a shot!
