Underside of Blue for ID

[cjs]

I took this photo at Milk Hill Pewsey Downs this week. I did see Adonis and Common Blue but never saw any Chalkhill Blue's (although they are thought to be present). Help with ID would be great.

These are a couple of shots I took of the Adonis.

Hi cjs

Looks like Chalk Hill to me. In my part of the country (Hampshire) they are a lot more common than Adonis.

Cheers, Rupert

I agree - this is a chalkhill blue.

Thanks Rupert and Thanks Guy, I'm very pleased with that confirmation. It was a very hot day when I was there and not many of the "blues" were settling so I spent a few hours chasing up and down the hillside, which I enjoyed but found it exhausting! This is the first Adonis and Chalhill Blue I have seen!
