Speckled Wood Butterfly - in Angus



I will be trying to find out more about Speckled Wood Butterflies in Angus, I've never seen one there before but it's unlikely in most years that I'd be in the habitat they favour, instead I'd be on the coast or higher ground. I've posted a few photos as I doubt I'll see another for a long time. 4K UHD videos at the links below;

I've decided that this is NOT a Wood Mouse, just a House Mouse. I got a good view of its underside which isn't white or very pale, and it's far too big, as well as the scaly tail and grey in its coat. Video I have yet to edit shows these features and photos online which are never definitive enough suggest the same. Unless I'm wrong again.........
