Large Blue Butterfly

Large Blue

I was pleased to see and photograph another new species for me. The Large Blue is a rare butterfly in Britain. It became extinct a few years ago and is currently doing well in a handful of sites in the West Country. I visited Collard Hill a National Trust site near to Street in Somerset and managed to see good numbers. Plenty of orchids about and a good place to visit.

I only managed a few pictures, but I was pleased with those that I got.
I will definitely revisit the site and try and get some more photos when the opportunity arises.
