A gathering of cabbage whites (also, a skipper snuck it's way into the third photo, but too unclear to post a sighting on its own)

Something has their attention. Your skipper is a White-banded Grass-dart. Please post if you wish.

Interesting - thank you. There were two separate reeds (is that the bush?), that the cabbage whites were resting on - I couldn't see them feeding at all. And thanks for the skipper ID

Thank you - I'd wondered if it was just ordinary behaviour that I just did not know about?
