Adonis and Chalkhill Blues from Aston Rowant NNR, Oxon, and Common Blue from Hazelborough Woods, Northants today.
@savebutterflies.bsky.social @upperthames.bsky.social
That's a female Common Blue. It has the extra spot on the crossing and no figure-8 on the hindwing. Sorry!

I think the unopened buds of Devil's-bit Scabious are as attractive as the flowers.

And yet, just 2 days earlier I counted over 140 Peacock, plus lots of Painted Lady, Red Admiral, and Small Tortoiseshell at a N. Yorkshire site.
