Hello. Yes. Found it walking across the grass in our garden in the Brecon beacons national park. I've looked up the white Ermine and that looks like a good match. Thank you

I found one crossing a path when I was in Orkney last month. It is now a somewhat ugly pupa (but I'm sure his mummy loved him).
White Ermine - agree.
