Narrative:
Drone sighted between 350-300 feet AGL approximately 200-300 yards north of the final to 09L. It was initially in my 10 o`clock position from the captain's seat and moved very quickly to my 8 o`clock position as we passed 300 feet. Hovered and then moved erratically and very rapidly west in level flight parallel to final approach. Drone was white in color and appeared to be approximately 2 feet across. I called it out to first officer who was hand flying and focused on the approach. Advised tower (they appeared quite busy). Continued to a normal approach and landing.
