            Memory lapse @Zigs :smile:, It's a common Blue.
            The only Clouded one is the Clouded Yellow.

                  I didn't see the top of its wings but the underside is superb. Nothing common about that! :)

                    Some more Terns from Brownsea Island this morning, unfortunately the rarer Roseate Terns have moved on. Apololgies for similar pics but I can't resist them.:smile:
                    Sandwich Terns still feeding their young.

                    When they all take off you know they are worried about a predator.
