I wouldn't know if I was looking at one of then or another skipper or a fritillary. Shame to say

I do miss seeing the beautiful sight of the Chalkhill Blue that were up on the Wye Downs. Orchids in the grass, butterflies above, and a panorama for over 30miles, including seeing the English Channel waters, sparkle in the sunshine, beyond St Marys Bay and Folkestone, in the distance.

I will be watching out for them, perhaps with the camera ready.
