The new kids on the block...
First walk on my recent holiday at the old explosives nature reserve before you get onto the towans close to Hayle cornwall which revealed lots of Silver Studded Blue Butterflies just settling down for the evening. They were not as big as my thumbnail. They made no attempt to fly away and so I was able to take shots of this little quartet from a few angles at my leisure. They are mostly on Privet at this location but as you can see these little newbies are all on a blade of grass.
All hand held and manual settings on the Sony A7ii with an old Nikon Ais 55mm 2.8 micro lens...
I am forgiving myself for uploading more than one shot a day as I couldn't participate when on holiday due to no real WiFi and I have been trying hard to catch up with everyone...
