Hello Tobyjug, this was taken at Collard Hill, half way along and just over the edge onto the scarp slope. This was the first large Blue I had ever seen!
A fine shot of this rare butterfly, a species i've never seen.
Quote: Great effort.......I'll be down Collard Hill again myself this year and a few other venues I'm aware of......Mind you don't bump into me

You'll have a real fright if you do bump into the Big O on your travels!
