Not a cue for a song!
Although there were mostly large butterflies feeding on thistles of this arid, roadside area, there were a few smaller species. Blue butterflies can be difficult to catch up with to photograph.
These two shots were taken about half an hour apart (I had to check the EXIF data). I believe they are the Silver-Studded Blue Plebejus argus but welcome expert opinion.
The brown butterfly seems to be one of the Wall Brown species, possibly the variant paramegaera of Lasiomatta megera. I am disappointed that there is a small gap in the hind wing but am otherwise pleased with the shot.
EM-1, Olympus 4/3 ED Digital 70-300mm AF. Hand-held, AF used, harsh, bright sunlight.
All images cropped.
