Day 14: Common Blue (Polyommatus icarus)

I've noticed not main butterflies around in the morning when I walk the dog - so opted for early evening today to try and increas echances of seeing and then photographing.  Proved quite difficult though no direct sun so no basking and quite windy which meant focussing was a bit hit and miss.
