Woodland Flutterby

Time: Early June

Place: Nant yr Arian forestry

While Martin was being terribly active( breaking his personal best round one of the mountain bike trails) I meandered round a forestry path or two following butterflies as they fluttered by.

Eventually managed to get a couple of halfway decent shots - both specimens were on the small side (as can be seen relative to the buttercups).  Really not sure what this one is - it appeared faintly blue to me, but doesn't match anything I can find.  Any suggestions?


Fairly certain this one is a Small Heath:


Update: I'm informed the mystery butterfly could be a Green-veined White although I'm not entirely convinced - it looked blue to me!
