Private property. No public access without permission. Sorry for appalling photo but I am hoping Suzi will be able to ID from it. Was a very large butterfly and the pattern was distinctive on both the outside and inside of the wing (which caught my eye). We saw two more later on in the day (~500m NNW of this location).

They're hard butterflies to get photos of as they move through, so well done! Quite a few around at the moment. Also look out for Lesser Wanderers, they are also being seen moving through.
