Gatekeeper (Pyronia tithonus)
A pretty orange and brown butterfly, the Gatekeeper is widespread and common across central and southern counties of England and Wales, often seen in mid-summer basking in hedgerows in the warm summer sunshine, or feeding on nectar from Bramble Flowers, Wild Marjoram or Common Ragwort, although it will feed from many other plants as well.
