Mmmm, thinking the Brown ones may be Brown Argus now?

It's possible Pam but i just can't see enough to say at the moment. I'll take a closer look.

First one definitely Adonis Blue, I'll have to study the others a bit closer.

I have tried zooming in and i don't think i can see the double cell spot on the underside so i would say the last two could well be Brown Argus

Looks good for female Adonis Blue, Pam. Enough blue suffusion around the basal area of the wings to discount Brown Argus.

Male Adonis blue can be told apart by the dark lines in the white fringes, giving an almost 'chequered' effect.

Although not so easy to identify in older males with no white fringe. I'm still not sure about Pam's second male, it looks more like Common Blue to me.

It could be Ann, the fringes are worn which makes it trickier to id.
