Has anyone else here seen Large Blue Butterflies?

Despite its name, the large blue is a fairly small butterfly, but the largest of our blues. It was declared extinct in 1979, but reintroduced in the 1980s and now survives in a few places in southern England. I took these photos in June 2018 & 2019 at Daneway Banks in Gloucestershire.

This summer I have photographed a Common Blue, small Blue and a Holly Blue. I was trying to find an Adonis Blue but did not find one. All of these were in Gloucestershire.
