I now think Common Blue male, Polyommatus icarus? Perhaps wrong though... |

Yep Common Blue. The Silver-studded blue has a much thicker margin of white and a thicker darker edging inside this. It's great to see the common's back however, they're beauties.

It's a bit early in the season for silver studded blue. They normally appear end of June - early July.

Yes, saw several Common + Holly Blues today as well as a single Brown Argus at Hutchinson's Bank, but sadly no sign of the Small Blues! | | |
