                          @wiseowl, I found the same ones today at Portland Bill, they are Holly Blues, the only blue butterflies that are blue on the underwing.
                          Iholy blue 1.JPG

                          Also there were Common Blues
                          small blue.JPG

                          common blue 2.JPG

                          Common Blue, pale underwing with pearly spots and a little orange.
                          smallcommon.JPG

                          Jersey Tiger I could only get a pic when it settled (out of the wind) so the bright orange colour was hidden.
