Apologies for the indulgence, but I didn't get to see or post many images of Common Blue butterflies last year so I'm making up for it this year.
Although not many, I have seen more this year already than the whole of last year.

Thanks GG.
DeleteTheir wingspan is 35mm if that helps to compare.

DeleteLovely captures. I have seen a few Common Blues at Durlston, difficult to get a good picture of them, they are a bit flighty at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lyn.
DeleteYes especially the males, but mid afternoon is probably a good time.
The Icarus blues are great beautiful butterflies.
