We moved from Essex to North Norfolk in August 2006 and I have spent a lot of time since then photographing the nature around me, mostly close up and macro stuff. My "patch" is the 10Km square TG2035 though I spend most time between Overstrand, where we live, and Trimingham.



I also bird regularly elsewhere in Norfolk and volunteer at Cley.





I have a photo site at http://overstrandnature.fotopic.net/ but wanted a bit more detail so I thought I'd have a go at a blog detailing what I see locally, as well as on trips abroad

Most of the photos have been taken with Canon digital equipment, or the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1. I still however mostly use a camera to record what I see, rather than set out to photograph something.

28th December - Stalham Broad

After a walk round locally on 27th, made the trip with Phil to Stalham Broad to add Ferruginous Duck to my Norfolk list, which, after a walk along an icy boardwalk, I did. It showed close-to by some tern rafts with a small flock of Pochard, tufties and Goldeneye.

There were good numbers of Tufted Duck on the broad as well as ca 20 Goldeneye, some Great Crested Grebes, Teal and Gadwall, while bonus birds were Kingfisher, ca 50 redpolls sp flying around and 9 Whooper Swans flying low NE calling as we got back to the main car park.
