What are these butterflies, please!
#1. Common blue (that's had a very tough life?! - But if so, where are the white fringes?) ***
#2. a) Common blue male? #2. b) [Same butterfly!] ***
#3. Female common blue (if so why not remotely blue in colour!) ***
#4. a) Er... Female Gatekeeper ? (if so there were about 5 of them all these same - none had that broad dark band on the forewings - all females? #4. b) ***
#5 a) Small Copper (presumably) #5 b) Small copper (presumably) Many thanks
