Cracking shots good stuff

Silver Studded Blue, and common blue are really hard to tell apart

Really nice shots!

Any top tips Dave? I'm ashamed to say mine all get labeled "blue" :shrug:

Tara, the Silver Studded is slightly smaller than the common blue and the males have a black band between the white edge of their wings and the blue. which you cant see on these shots, as the wings are closed, Ive only ever seen them in Cornwall,(0r South) we dont get them up north, They dont emerge until mid June. Clicky Description

Thanks Dave, I'll have to look and see if we get them around here. The black band looks quite distinct in your link. I wonder how clear it is in real life.
Off for a google now
