Sorry about the quality of the photos. It was fluttering around in a speedy fashion on the lawns where they still had the summer sounds equipment set up, so I was a bit reluctant to go in hot pursuit of it. Medium sized butterfly. I couldn't spot it in the book, so I'm interested to see what it is.

Hi Judith. It's a moth rather than a butterfly; I think maybe Eutrichopidia latinus but will see what the moth experts think.
