Yesterday (August 10) morning we showed a photograph of a Great Arctic <\/strong>obtained by Aziza Cooper on Mount Washington, but we also wrote that we haven\u2019t yet had any reports of the Great Arctic this year from within the Southern Vancouver Island Birdwatching Area. However, Thomas Barbin tells us that he saw and photographed one near the peak of Lone Tree Hill, which is within the Area, on July 9. \u00a0\u00a0You can see Thomas\u2019s photograph at https:\/\/inaturalist.ca\/observations\/228515269<\/a><\/p>\n

We are still lacking a Purplish Cooper in this area this year. And, so far, only one Grey Hairstreak.<\/p>\n

Jeff Gaskin writes that there was a Lorquin’s Admiral<\/strong> behind Tillicum Centre in Cuthbert Holmes Park today, August 11.\u00a0 Although a few Lorquin\u2019s Admirals sometimes extend into September, there are few about now, so we welcome all reports of them.<\/p>\n

Ian Cooper took some photographs on August 9 at the 9 km marker in View Royal.\u00a0 Here are some of them.<\/p>\n
