              Lovely photos, everyone.

              Yesterday we were out walking in the countryside and saw a butterfly we've never seen before. I couldn't take a photo because it didn't keep still long enough.

              It was no more than half an inch with its wings spread and was fluttering along the footpath and landing, very briefly, every yard or so. When it had its wings closed it was a brownish grey colour and with them open it had one orange wing and one grey wing!

              Any ideas?

                  No. There were no eyes.

                  Also a no (but it is much nearer). It didn't seem to have what looks like four wing sections and was much rounder. With the wings closed it didn't have a, sort of, triangular section. It was much more semicircular with the wings curving upwards and round towards the head.
