Common Blue at Sidwood
There's been strong wind and quite a lot of rain in the valley recently so, taking advantage of the first fine day to dawn in the last two weeks, I had a drive to Sidwood this afternoon and added a new butterfly to my list, a Common Blue (Polyommatus icarus).
Ringlets, Meadow Browns and Small Skippers were also flying.
Ringlet (Aphanotopus hyperantus)
Small Skipper (Thymelicus sylvestris)
Sidwood - a peaceful place for a saunter

Hi Emma, that certainly looks a nice peaceful walk along that lane. I think the Small blue is actually a Common Blue, but you have the right latin name which is the Common Blue's latin name.
Thanks Roy: How silly of me to make that mistake; I was reading from the book too!
The common blue would be very uncommon to me. These were nice "catches"
A lovely looking place to saunter Emma. The Ringlet is a cracking picture. I do like these.
Lovely photos Emma, did you see any Dragonflies Emma. Im up that way Sunday to have a mooch around.
Shady lanes and lots of fabulous flutters. Just the ticket Emma. FAB.
