Hi Ian,
I'll have a bash, just to relieve me from my boredom at work.
Top to bottom:
Common blue
Abberrant Lysandra sp. (look at the fringes)
Brown argus (basal displacement of one of the underside spots).
By the way, a great photo

The second one looks like Chalkhill from the small portion of upper forewing visible.
Yes, a very nice threesome.

Re: Roosting blues
I would agree with both Chris and Dave:
Common Blue
Chalkhill Blue (male)
Brown Argus
Superb photo!
Best wishes,

Thanks, Lee, Chris and Dave. Your kind comments about the photos are very much appreciated.
Re: Roosting blues
Lovely image, Ian, and a very interesting Chalkhill Blue might I say?
