Small Copper (Lycaena phlaeas)
This beautiful little butterfly, whilst still fairly common, is declining in many areas due to intensification of agriculture, reclamation of heathland, increased shadyness of woods and lack of sheep or rabbit grazing on unimproved downs. Male & female are similar in colouring though there is a lot of variation in the size of the black marks on the upperwings.

Common Blue (Polyommatus icarus), female.
Female common blues vary in colour from almost entirely blue to dark brown with only a hint of blue close to the body. I was able to get very close to this one as it was basking in the sun. Another picture taken at the same time as

Land near King's Clipstone, Notts.
This strip of land runs alongside the old Clipstone Colliery railway (now disused).Only a few years ago it was bare scrubland, but has been colonised with an amazing variety of wildlife. There are masses of wildflowers (at this time of the year - June - it is probably at its best), butterflies, including Common Blue, Small Copper, Small Heath, rabbits, foxes, and there was even a badger sett, though that is no longer active.
