Silver-studded Blues

Today it was raining but I decided that after seeing Heath Fritillaries the other day in drizzle it had to be worth a try going out..after about an hour at Stedham Common for Silver-studded Blues it was fair to say I was regretting my decision! However as luck would have it I met a lady dog-walker who suggested that if I was looking for the butterflies "up there" might be a good spot, not a place I'd seen them before..but she was right...six male and one female Silver-studded Blues out on the heather in the weak sun...thank you madam!
