Just can't work out what this is. Is it a grayling?

I think this is a White-Letter Hairstreak that I've just photographed in my garden but I've never seen one before and reading up on them they aren't usually seen far from elm trees and there aren't any of them around my house so just want to make absolutely sure this is one.

OMG!! What a super butterfly to find in your garden Tina :jealous:

I think you are correct with your ID but I'm sure someone else will confirm. :cool4:

Wow, what a great garden find, I'm so jealous!

I've only just seen my first ones in the last few weeks but it certainly looks like White-letter Hairstreak to me.
