We got a tip about a location INSIDE Uppsala for Little and Green-undersided Blue, both lifers for HÃ¥kan/Ardeola. For me it was the Green-undersided that was the lifer, but I hadn't seen Little in Modern Time (knew I had one in my collection back in the late sixties) so it was all very interesting. Especially when not far away, actually same way as when going to Tweety's, but stopping at half-distance!
It turned out to be nothing more than a very steep roadside strip of grass and wildflowers, not more than 10 meters wide from top to tarmac 4 meters down. VERY steep, but still negotiable if careful. This strip streched for maybe 40 meters in length.
We arrived at maybe 5 PM, sun was up and shining, but the shadows were getting long.
Soon we spotted our first Blue, just flying endlessly here and there. Very frustrating. When it at last settled it turned out to be a Common. We searched on, keeping at the top of the hill for oversight. Then we changed tactics and combed the shortcut grass in the ditch (4-lane bypass street, not nice to go close to the traffic but still; the work had to be done!) and got more Blues. All Common. Darted over the road in a short lull of traffic, to check the other side (narrower strip of grass and flowers, pines on top) and I got a resting one, sunning, that probably was the Green-undersided. It flew before confirmation, chased away by one of the numerous Common. I started to resent them!
At last the sun had dipped so much that most of the place was in shadow and hence a dramatic dip in butterfly activity. We went up to the parking lot on top of that hill, ready to give up and preparing to get back next day, earlier. But I wanted to try a spot way back, mostly covered with long grass, were sun still lingered. A good thing as it turned out it was THE roosting spot for Blues in the area! I didn't know that before, that they roost over night in high grass. They were sitting everywhere, lots of them. And the good thing: they sat STILL and it was just to whip out the macro lens and go at it hammer and tongs. So: let's begin with the character butterfly that day, the ubiquitous Common Blue! I just love the background, a sea of high grass suitably out of focus. Of course I couldn't get the butterfly totally free, one straw just had to swing in front of the wing tip...

Well not very common for me because this is my first one and what a beautiful creature this is. I managed a couple of other shots of its lovely blue wings but this is my favourite of it.
My first capture of this beuatiful woods butterfly. Taken in the Uhwarrie National Forrest in Montgomery County.

Funny - I saw a photo of a Redpoll from Doug Lloyd yesterday and asked if he could send me one in New Jersey. This guy just showed up at my feeder about an hour ago. Thanks Doug!!!
