Common Blue Butterfly, photographed in it’s natural environment amongst arable weeds at Wandlebury Country Park, Cambridge, UK.
This beautiful little male was sunning itself in the last rays of light on a recent visit to the Arable Patch at Wandlebury, so I managed to fit my macro lens on and catch it on camera before it flew away in a flurry. To give you a sense of scale, the butterfly’s wings were barely 2.5 cm (1 inch) in height, so it was very hard for me to get the photo I wanted with him in focus.
