The pale edge to the underneath of the wing has me foxed, as I can’t find it on ID websites. It’s poor resolution, as it was a fast mover. Thanks.

I'd guess small blue as well, there was one in our garden yesterday & the day before but they move so fast that I can never get a photo or definite I.D., we get holly blues as well which are slightly larger, bright blue (the females have a dark edge to the upper wings) so it's possible it could be one of those depending on size etc. I think the colours vary on lots of butterflies depending on weather/situation/area/how old they are etc.
