Silver-studded Blues have a private moment

Yesterday late morning I ventured onto Stedham Common in dull but fairly dry conditions. I found 2 male Silver-studded Blues by the path then another 16 males plus 3 females at a nearby hotspot. Some were in very good condition and while I was photographing one I glanced down and saw a mating pair nearby. Mostly they resting with open wings.
