Butterfly Sightings

Greengrass · Greengrass

Only because I saw a Photo in The RSPB recent magazine, but twice this week once in my garden in The Glen and again when walking on Meadowhead, I've seen a butterfly that very much resembled the photo, is it possible in this area or am I more likely wrong.
