Chalk-Hill Blue
Photographed this morning at a site in Bedfordshire.
I went in search of this beautiful species at around 9.00 am this morning and within an hour I managed to find 4 fresh males, all within a small area.
I wasn't expecting to take any photos as it was very windy, so I am pretty pleased with this one. I was sat on the floor with my camera resting on my knee whilst holding a reflector in the other hand to shade him from the harsh sunlight. I think this shot is testament to both the Canon 5D MK3 and the Sigma 180 f2.8 OS lens.
I shall be returning to the area this evening to see where they are roosting.
