Sloe bug

A bit of bug hunting today, in the garden. I think it's a sloe bug: https://www.gardensafari.net/en_picpages/dolycoris_baccarum.htm

I like the shape of its shield and its black and white antenna, but, according to information in the link above, a very smelly bug!

I also saw a very weathered Peacock butterfly.
