Not entirely sure what this is, either Aricia agestis or Polyommatus icarus (f) 🦋

We literally have dozens of Vanessa atalanta in our back yard at the moment, fattening up before they migrate for the winter.

Right now they can be mostly found on fruit of the Prunus laurocerasus, and will then move to the flowers of the Hedera helix.
