| | | Are these Adonis blues?
I spotted a number of these at Figsbury Ring in wiltshire yesterday. Location is right - chalk grassland - and they seem to fit the description to my untrained eyes, but I would welcome confirmation from more experienced butterfly spotters.    |

We saw our first Adonis Blues of the year on the chalk at Cuckmere Haven. They were flying with Common Blues and Chalkhill Blues which was a sight to behold. Pictures later.
