Cheers

Just my luck Lee. I have a definate picture of a Chalk Hill with wings folded. I followed it with it's wings open until it settled, I was thrown though when two came along and got together, one was a much stronger yellow than the one I'd just taken a picture of, so I thought ah! Male , Female. Obviously not. I've included the pictures to show you what I mean. The strange thing is the field was full of Chalk Hill Blues.
