Browns

The browns are our largest group and you may see up to eight different species.

These include the Meadow Brown and Gatekeeper which are some of our most common summer butterflies and can be seen on roadside verges as well as rough grasslands.

Perhaps confusingly, the Marbled White is a member of the brown family.

Below you will find links to the individual species pages on the Butterfly Conservation website. We will in the future be adding additional pages with local information for each species - so please return sometime.
