Thanks for all the votes and comments on yesterday's Glanville Fritillary, much appreciated.

Managed to get out for a couple of hours this morning and headed over to Bishop's Hill where there's a decent colony of Common Blues. This is a female of the blue form and i found her resting on an Oxeye Daisy awaiting the sun soon after i arrived. I found several males and females aswell as quite a few Small Blues but the wind made photography a little difficult.

Fabulous Nigel! I have missed seeing your butterfly shots in my absence! I'm hoping to find some common blues now that I've moved down to Surrey as I've never seen one in real-life before.

A first class close up Nigel, the detail and colours are immaculate once again.

You obviously coped with the wind and produced yet another superb image, Nigel.
Well done.
