An idyllic Cotswold scene… Batsford Stud was built by Sir Ernest George for John Freeman Mitford in 1878. Formerly the stables to Batsford Park, the stud now forms part of the Batsford Estate, near Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire. There are about 120 acres of paddocks varying in size, including nursery paddocks for mares with their new-born foals.

Taken Mount Chelmos region, Kalavrita, Greece.
This species and the idas blue P. idas, pose plenty of identification issues. Both species are widespread and often common. Variation between individuals and colonies is marked in both species, with plenty of overlap possible.
Identification & Similar species: Separation is sure with the one character which is constant - the male foreleg tibia has a hook in the current species which is never present in P. idas. Other characters offer guidance for separating the males. The upperside male black border is fine and the upperside hindwing space 7 largely blue in P. idas the border often much broader and space 7 lacks blue in P. argus.
Higher Hyde Heath DWT. The silver-studded blue emerges in June and is usually on the wing until late August. It is a rare butterfly, generally found in heathland habitats that have shorter, sparsely vegetated areas. It is restricted to close-knit colonies in southern England and Wales. Two subspecies can be found in its range, while two others are now extinct in the UK. The larvae feed on a wide variety of plants, such as bell heather, cross-leaved heath and gorses.

Male / upperwing.
Species: Plebeius argus.
This attractive little blue is most often associated with heathlands of southern England, where it can occur in very large numbers. However, in many places it is serious decline, mainly as a result of destruction of heaths and the shading out of the sparsely vegetated, sunny habitats it prefers.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom ,it was the age of foolishness , it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair. – Charles Dickens - A tale of two cities

I was astonished to see this number of horses roaming around on the clifftops of North Cornwall. They seemed friendly enough and soon came over to see whether I had anything worth having...
I had the opportunity to head back to see family over the weekend and while there took a trip out to Yateley Common to see if I could find some Silver-studded Blues. Luckily I found a few however I think in a week or so the numbers will be far greater. Won't get much chance to get away now until early September so it was a real treat to find this smart female settling in for the night.
Can go to L
