Nowt wrong with your photos........I'm quite envious actually as we don't get any of those 3 species here in Cornwall! I did come back from the Isle of Wight a week ago from our familt holiday & saw many Chalkhill Blues & a few newly emerged Adonis Blues on the Isle of White's chalk downland. Alas...no Silver-Spotted Skippers there. It is a lovely & thankfully slightly more widespread species in the UK than 20 odd years ago when I used to journey to Dorset to see them at Fontmell Down. I think that is still your only colony within your county though! Enjoy them as they are only on the wing for 2 weeks of so (very short flight period)!!
