Thank you all who came to take a closer look!!
Actually, I was looking for the mating pair of Peregrine Falcons, but the Brown Pelicans did keep doing fly-bys of the seaside cliffs to keep me entertained. This was the only one I got in full breeding color though.
Melanitis leda, the common evening brown, is a common species of butterfly found flying at dusk. The flight of this species is erratic. They are found in Africa, South Asia and South-east Asia extending to parts of Australia.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.
The brown shrike (Lanius cristatus) is a bird in the shrike family that is found mainly in Asia. It is closely related to the red-backed shrike (L. collurio) and isabelline shrike (L. isabellinus). The common English name "shrike" is from Old English scrÃc, "shriek", referring to the shrill call.
Like most other shrikes, it has a distinctive black "bandit-mask" through the eye and is found mainly in open scrub habitats, where it perches on the tops of thorny bushes in search of prey.

Some Info From the Cornell Lab:
"Pelicans incubate their eggs with the skin of their feet, essentially standing on the eggs to keep them warm. In the mid-twentieth century the pesticide DDT caused pelicans to lay thinner eggs that cracked under the weight of incubating parents. After nearly disappearing from North America in the 1960s and 1970s, Brown Pelicans made a full comeback thanks to pesticide regulations.
While the Brown Pelican is draining the water from its bill after a dive, gulls often try to steal the fish right out of its pouch—sometimes while perching on the pelican's head. Pelicans themselves are not above stealing fish, as they follow fishing boats and hang around piers for handouts."
Brown Thornbill (Acanthiza pusilla). This has been my nemesis bird for a while, as Brown Thornbills can be challenging to photograph. The red iris indicates that this bird is an adult; juveniles have dark irises
One benefit of setting up in a blind (hide) is the potential for closeup shots. This Brown Pelican emerged from the shadows to my right. Click.
Well there have certainly been a lot of Wall Browns about this spring. Usually I only see a handful of the spring brood but this year I have seen dozens in many different places too. This one was nectaring on a roadside Cow Parsley, which I rarely see visited by butterflies. They are a widespread but rapidly declining butterfly in Britain. It is now largely a coastal butterfly, having disappeared from many inland areas, although this was taken at 1000 feet asl in the Pennines, and about as far from a coast as it's possible to get in the UK.

Brown-headed Nuthatch on backyard feeder. Morgan County, Alabama 2021. . . . and guess what! When I was viewing the date taken, I realized I had not set my camera's back one hour when the "time changed" a few days ago.

Unlike many other kingfishers it does not fish often, so it can often be found far from water. It generally prefers dense woodland, riverine woodland, thickets, edges of evergreen forest, plantations, and wooded grassland.
It has a varied diet which includes insects, mammals, birds, reptiles and rarely fish. It hunts by sitting on a perch, searching for prey. Once prey is located, it rapidly flies down to grab it with its bill, before flying back to its perch.
