moth or butterfly

Post by Pat »

hi
I found several of these up a hill in the cairngorms this weekend, not very good pics, but hopefully someone can tell me if they are grizzled skippers or some moth, thanks

hi hari
many thanks for the quick identification, not very good on moths, despite doing 2 courses, must try harder, is it really red data book, as my field guide to moths suggests, the broad-bordered white underwing,
had never noticed it before, despite being in that area many times before,
