Common Blue (Female) I think...

Paul Iddon

Pretty sure its a female common blue, the wing spots on the underside are in the right place and it deffo was blue on the upper inside wings when they were briefly open.

I spotted this one in the grasses of a field in Barrow today. but the wind was howling as the field is in the open areas of the docklands near the BAE buildings.

C&C as always encouraged.
