    This Red Admiral was taking a brief rest from feeding on rotting fig fruit still hanging in the tree alongside Hornets, wasps, and the occasional speckled wood Butterflie, perhaps even the odd Comma butterflie too.

    Brown Argus or Common Blue.

    Hi, dantheman, It has to be a colour balance, I got up and close to this Butterflie more than once when it opened its wings and I have seen many female common blues for comparison in the past I just wished I could have photographed the upper wings and showed them here I was lucky to get this...

    Brown Argus or Common Blue.

    Hi Aeshna, Yes I agree it is a female common blue, but the upper wings unless you saw them yourself you would struggle to say it was a female common blue and I could`t and I was up and close to this Butterflie a few times to know that I have seen many female common blues outdoors and...

    Brown Argus or Common Blue.

    Hi Waxwings Yes those features you mention highlight common blue very well but having seen the upper wings first being such a uniform brown all over apart from the orange spots, and not even a trace of blue at the base of the wings as you can see in this photo it is somewhat of a mystery to me...

    Ringlet

    Just over nine years ago now when I photographed This Ringlet Butterflie Taken on Saturday 25th of July 2014 near Brailsford church in derbyshire, I always find it rewarding to capture alongside the Butterflie as much surrounding habitat as possible as in this photo.
