I decided to go up to the downs to day,and try for some Chalkhill Blues,there seems to be a great shortage of Butterfly's this year of all sorts?? Any how I did find a few males,but there was a very unfriendly wind blowing which didn't help things, but got a few in the the end.............

A very difficult angle to do any insect from, but this is not far off.
Nice shot.

I'm very jealous, having spent all last monday on a prime sight for these without seeing a single specimen. Nicely done Stewart.
