A puzzling gull, corvids and perhaps the last insects I'll see given the current weather forecast.
Insect ID as best I could manage!
This is an odd one, at first I thought it might be a Yellow-legged Gull, then a Herring Gull L.argentatus, now I'm not sure at all. The gull's colour is as seen by eye, and was in good light, maybe it's a worn Lesser black-backed Gull. I need to find it again, hopefully still around West Links, Arbroath
Same Gull and looking a bit worn, tail and primaries, and it seems early for the dark pattern on its head
Jackdaw
Carrion Crow, there's talk of merging the Carrion Crow and Hooded Crow into one species?
Common Banded Hoverfly Syrphus ribesii, in my garden
The Footballer Helophilus pendulus
White-footed Hoverfly Platycheirus albimanus, best guess from various sources...
Black Ant Lasius niger Queen
Peacock Butterfly
Common Drone Fly Eristalis tenax (or might be pertinax)
