Therfield Heath - Chalk Hill Blue Butterflies

Having had the tip off that there were Chalk Hill Blue Butterflies on Therfield Heath, it was worth missing some of the 5,000 metres at London 2012 Olympics!   In the event I was able to see both.   Not having photographed these butterflies before I was surprised how small they are - but attractive.   Almost all of them were on the same plant head.
