Small blue - upperwing.
Species: Cupido minimus.
Our smallest resident butterfly is easily overlooked, partly because of its size and dusky colouring, but partly because it is often confined to small patches of sheltered grassland where its sole foodplant, Kidney Vetch, is found.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
