My final visit of the year to Horseshoe Plantation on an unseasonably cool late August day. The Adonis Blues were all bunkered down in the grass, looking very torpid, and only offering closed wing shots for photos. Likewise with the Brown Argus, Common Blues and Chalkhill Blues. At least it provides an excellent opportunity to compare these four species for identification purposes. A few Silver-spotted skippers also seen.
