A female Chalkhill Blue Lysandra coridon, taken early this morning, at a dew drenched Barnack.
Hardly any about yesterday, but loads today. I'm guessing there was a good emergence yesterday.
No sooner had I walked up the path into Barnack. I realised what a heavy dew there had been, so it was back to the car, off with the walking boots and on with the wellies.
Knees and legs got utterly soaked lying in the grass, but the feet were dry
All well worth it though
Side crop only to achieve 9 x 7
Big thanks to Anthony (zapar40), for his award given to yesterday's upload

Now I bet that surprised you Adrian 
However, I think you have worked hard over the last couple of years to try improve in a couple of specialist areas of photography and this is a great example of your work with butterflies.
Most jealous as I would love a shot like this - though of course might help if I actually got out and tried to take one
An outstanding piece of macrowork Adie, the dewdrops give this one another dimension and make it that little bit extra special. I'm sure Lou will have a good chuckle when she reads about your discomfort and you getting your trousers soaked! The weather has returned to type over here now, very wet again and it looks like that for the foreseable future
Thanks to Keith, Cheryl and Ed for your awards
Must admit Cheryl, I had to look twice
, but I know you have been keeping an eye on me from time to time
I made a promise this year to improve my BF togging and it is paying off, hopefully, though the I.S macro certainly helps too

PS - this is one of my uploads that received the third degree DB interrogation
An image of exceptional quality you have got here. Well worth the soggy clothes. Neil.
Another beauty, Adrian. I never seem to get these dew covered opportunities
no matter how early I go out. Well done mate.
Colin
The dewdrops and little spider's web on the flower add magic to the image.
That's a belter Adrian, congrats on the well deserved awards
