@Fire your first photo looks more like a Gatekeeper to me.
I understand that a meadow brown has one spot of white in the eyes on the wings and a gate Keeper has two white spots. It’s not a great photo.
I'm inclined to agree with Alan. The extent of the orange colouring, especially on the hind-wing, is more of a Gatekeeper feature. The white spots can be deceiving with both species but the Gatekeeper is smaller and more orange generally.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
My daily wildlife moment: I walk out into the back garden with my neighbour's three year old to meet a headless, eviserated bird covered in flies lying near the back door. It might have been a thrush. Oh the joy of having a hoard of neighbourhood cats. They give so many presents. I don't see the upside.

@Fritillary lovely little hoggie, unfortunately my 3 haven't been for the last week or so, really hoping they haven't been squished.
