Silver Studded Blue
A male silver studded blue butterfly on heather. Each year I do a six week survey of these increasingly threatened butterflies. By this time last year I had seen just two in total. Yesterday I counted 96 on my 6km transect. Their numbers should peak in the next couple of weeks.Let's hope that augers well for their future.
