Description

I now know why so many of these shots of the common blue have their wings closed. This is the first one I have seen and I chased it for about an hour. It landed about 20 times and never had it's wings open once! I hope you like this picture as well as I do. Thankyou all for your previous comments and clicks on previous downloads.

Worth the effort. They are illusive things. I'm all over our local crag trying to catch them. Great shot. Paul
