Hello everyone,

We have been steadily developing our garden over the past 3 years and beginning to see some butterflies. Yay! Can anyone help a butterfly newbie with some ids?

Think this is a Small White.

We thought this was a Yellow Shell Moth.

I thought Meadow Brown, Graham (my other half) reckons on a Grayling. It did a wing slide (one wing slid in front of the other) if that helps!

Thanks in advance, it will be fantastic to know for sure what they are.

You're right about the moth and Meadow Brown, but the white is a Green-veined W.
