I saw this beautiful butterfly sitting on a blackberry bush in a nature reserve. Most likely a Lulworth skipper?

That was my first thought Meik, but then I googled it an became in doubt as it says the Lulworth is very rare in the UK.. hmm.. Thank you very much for your help though, until you commented I thought it was a moth!
Elsa, I think Lulworth skipper matches very well! Great!
Many thanks! I think maybe Lulworth skipper? Actually a butterfly and not a moth. Go figure..
This could be some kind of skipper (Thymelicus).
Have a look, this might help:
