Highlight for me today was the impressive appearance of Small Coppers! They were not particularly confiding but one or two posed nicely and with the sun shining the coppery sheen on some was amazing!
This one caught my eye with a couple of blue granular spots on the hindwing and I wouldn't have though much of it but...
then....
Wow, this beauty which flew and started feeding on Arabis hirsuta took my breath away, sporting a neat row of four spots on each hindwing
A full on aberrant
caeruleopunctata,..
No prizes for guessing which my butterfly of the day was!
