Done! I´ll be adding the rest of my spottings of butterflies and moths of Europe.
Please, add this wonderful shot to the new mission of European butterflies and moth! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8574613
I can even say that Heath was my first choice. Some butterflys have so much variability. The three little white dots on the hind-wing in yours didn't show up in any of the photos I looked at online.
As usual you are right, I've found This website about butterflies in the Peak District: http://www.cheshire-butterflies.co.uk/species/speciesdetails/pd/smallheath.htm
Thank you Lori, I know it's difficult to identify.
A Heath, Greying, or a Ringlet. Sorry I can't get any closer than that.
