A male adonis blue butterfly perched on a seedhead in the valley at the bottom of the masts field at Prestbury Hill nature reserve near Cheltenham. This was the first time I'd seen this rare blue butterfly on this site which is managed by Butterfly Conservation, and I must have counted about 8 different individuals on my visit.

Wonderful macro work Ed, love the light too mate.
Excellent - beautifully isolated in a green airy world.
Moira
Well captured, Ed, good to see the underwing with sufficient 'top side' showing.
Dave
(appreciate your recent views/clicks/comments... cheers)
This is particularly good, Ed as the contrast between the over and under wing is shown so clearly. Not often we see that, so well done for getting the pov and timing spot on.
Malc
Gorgeous capture, lovely colours and detail, I can just imagine him taking off in slow motion.
Sylvia
