Continuing with my quest to see all the UK species of butterfly, @bob_eade and I returned to Cumbria in August hoping to see 2 more new species for me: High Brown Fritillary and Scotch Argus. Here's the blog from that trip: lisagsaw.co.uk/cumbria-revis… @BCSussex

Here's the final post from our trip up north earlier this year. The final flurry was another butterfly quest, this time in Cumbria: 3 new species for me in 3 days! To find out how @bob_eade and I got on, click on this link: lisagsaw.co.uk/cumbria-highl…

I've really enjoyed reliving my trip to Scotland with @bob_eade earlier this year, whilst going through the photos and writing my blog. Here's the last one about our time spent on #Mull lisagsaw.co.uk/other-mull-hi…

Here's a link to my latest blog, focusing on the wonderful #Otters that can be found on #Mull . @bob_eade and I had some truly memorable moments photographing these charismatic creatures! 😍 lisagsaw.co.uk/otterly-fabul…

Whilst visiting the Isle of Mull in the spring, @bob_eade and I enjoyed some visits to the other islands nearby in the hopes of hearing some Corncrakes calling, lots of Puffins and other seabirds, plus the magnificent Fingal's Cave. lisagsaw.co.uk/visiting-isla…

If you've been following my recent blog, you'll know @bob_eade and I headed over to the Isle of #Mull next. First up on the island was a visit to Duart Castle with some fabulous insect and bird sightings: lisagsaw.co.uk/wildlife-at-d…

Here's a link to the next post in my blog series from my trip up north in the spring. It's a short one focusing on the Black #Guillemot in Oban - what a fabulous elegant bird! lisagsaw.co.uk/black-guillem… @bob_eade

Earlier this year I had a fabulous extended holiday up in #Scotland and #Cumbria with @bob_eade Our first main base was in Fort William and our focus was mostly on #butterflies and #moths. You can read about our adventures here: lisagsaw.co.uk/spring-in-for…

Having now seen all the butterfly species of Sussex, I'm now hoping to see all those in the UK. My quest continued earlier this year up in Scotland, when I went in search of the Chequered Skipper. Link to my blog: lisagsaw.co.uk/in-search-of-… @bob_eade @savebutterflies @BCSussex

Better late than never! I've written a blog post about a fabulous 2 day trip last year to see the Large Blue and Lulworth Skipper 🦋 - both species were new to me. You can read about it here: lisagsaw.co.uk/a-butterfly-q… @savebutterflies @bob_eade

I have two panoramic photos of the Starling Murmuration taken over Brighton Pier recently. I like them both. The left is neater but I think the right has more impact. Which do you prefer? @SussexWildlife @SussexBirding

Does anyone know which bird this #feather might belong to? I found it up on the #SouthDowns this weekend. 🤔 @SussexOrnitholo @SussexBirding @SussexWildlife @RSPBPulborough

I've not seen Snipe very often, so I was thrilled to have some lovely closer sightings @WWTArundel recently. I had no idea their beak could open just at the tip (see photo 3). Amazing.

This beautiful female Stonechat looked at me curiously. I was so lucky to have such a close sighting, whilst I was hiding behind a car at Shoreham Lagoon. @SussexWildlife @SussexBirding

All fluffed up with no place to go! I have Meat Loaf playing in my head. Next up...Turn to Stone! 🤣 (Don't worry, I won't give up my day job!) @SussexWildlife

It was great fun watching a group of Turnstones having a bird bath recently. After a quick play about in the water, they would have a brief flutter up in the air and land again. They looked quite balletic at times. @SussexWildlife @SussexBirding

This has to be my favourite Sparrow photo ever! A little punk rocker enjoying a bird bath in a car park puddle. @SussexWildlife

More fun at the beach, trying to capture a group of Sanderlings in flight! @SussexWildlife @SussexBirding

Sanderling On The Run! @SussexWildlife @SussexBirding

I crouched down really low to capture this Dunlin with its bill in the sand, searching for food. It was amongst a lot of Sanderlings and I almost didn't realise it wasn't just another one! 🤣 @SussexWildlife @SussexBirding
