Pale blue butterfly, with white edging on wings.
Found in the grasses near ocean cliffs at Seven Sisters Country Park.
The majority of the butterflies around the cliffs were darker in color. But there were a handful of these light blue butterflies. Unfortunately, I didn't have a macro lens with me so I don't have any more detailed close-ups. Maybe a common blue?

Thanks :-)
As you're the one who saw the butterfly it might be best if you give it a go:-)
Here is a good site to start:

Thanks!
VERY COOL!!!
Thanks for looking. No underwing picture as I had the wrong lens that day :-(
Hi Kirsten! One of the blues (Lycaenidae)...very tricky without an underwing picture:-( I could try to narrow it down...
I think it might be this - http://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/species.p..., but not sure.
