                That's a beautiful collection Strongy. I think the Blues love limestone and chalk habitats don't they? See them up on Dover cliffs. Off to Swanage next week for 6 days so looking forward to getting some piccies too.
                Thanks for these today,
                Jenny

                  In our house we call the Meadow Brown, "Merdey flies" because of their colour and the fact they are everywhere in the country side.:heehee:
