Tried to find a White letter Hairstreak at Aust Services area early this evening. No Joy but did find a surprise Purple Hairstreak. Plenty of other butterflies seen, including several Painted Ladies. Large whites seem to be everywhere at the moment. Also roosting Marbled Whites.

Lovely to get close views of this Short eared owl at Aust today. Using the car as a hide was all the fieldcraft needed :-).

I took this photo back on October 3rd just south of Newpassage on the shoreline & never follow it up. I was doubting myself at the time but now think it is a Yellow legged gull. The light was very bright & harsh so the colour may be lighter or darker in reality. Can anyone confirm either way? #birds

A short Eared owl showed at Aust just before dusk this evening. My first sighting this winter (at last). Too late in the day for good photo's though, but nice to see. #owls #nature #SevernEstuary

I have decided to take as many photo's of large gulls as possible in the hope it will get me better at large gull ID. Starting with this Herring gull at the three brooks today.
