I think this is a Small Skipper, I didn't see it's wings open as it sat but when it flew I could see they were an orange colour.

The underside of the forewing can be seen, it looks a pale orange with a dark brown fine edge.

It was very small, struggling to be 1/2 in length and smaller than the Common Blue, which I saw the same day.

Please can anyone confirm this, or tell me otherwise?

Sorry, I should have said Butterfly in the title, I have moths on the brain at the moment!
