Snapped these yesterday while I was out with the dog. He ran into long grass and loads of these little blue butterflies rose up out of the grass like a cloud of smoke. Can anyone identify them for me, please?

look like common blue butterflies gollach i posted a couple of pictures last month on here if you would like to check. Underside of the wings would be brown rather than blue :D

Yes, they were brown when they closed their wings, thanks for that!

Here is another one I found in the same place, perhaps it is the same butterfly but the opposite sex then?
