Silver-studded blue at Chobham Common NNR

 Another highlight of my trip to Chobham Common were the large numbers of silver-studded blues- a localised heathland species, which we last saw at South Stack, Anglesey (-click here-), although these are different as the females are fully brown opposed to the Great Orme and South Stack populations which are brown-blue.

The blues were everywhere on the reserve, but best seen on the edge of the paths where the heath had been cut as a fire break. 



The brown females.
