Was up on the high chalk today and saw this guy feeding on birds foot trefoil. Handsome fellah huh?

Great shot there Red! Is that a Little Blue? They are supposed to be one of the rarest! They lay eggs on Kidney Bane. I saw it on Longleet Zoo program yesterday!

Nice one!

Sadly not Jon - he's a Chalk Hill Blue (I think) although we do have Little Blues around, I've never had my camera to hand at the right time

Thank you BR.

Part of my sabbatical plan is to get out and get more pictures. I love photograpy and have neglected it of late - do shout when it becomes boring though!
