Glasswings are amazing.  Even when they're in front of you, they don't seem possible.

Nice pics!
Think the others are meadow browns. Similar to gatekeepers but gatekeepers have double white spots instead of single spots in the eye (except when they don't) as well as other similar-ish features

Since our buddleia decided not to be dead any more we've had a few peacocks and the odd PL. And a tortoiseshell yesterday.
