Another colourful capture, Jason. Is this butterfly different from yesterdays??

Well - I think so although I will definitely stand to be corrected. I think the spot pattern is slightly different and I am reasonable confident this is a Brown Argus becuase I saw brown wings. Less confident about yesterday's blue to be honest. They do look very similar with wings shut though and that's why I said yesterday that I found them hard to tell apart

Looks as if he(?) is doing a handstand, or the flutterby equivalent. Great exposure control, here Jason, and sharp where it should be.
Malc
a fine shot!!
the females have brown upper sides in many blues species . Well at second thoughts yesterdays may have been a female , too, but the 'common' ones have blue and orange and brown insides.
what can I say there are so many and I have taken months for all the hollies chalkhills etc.
