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.

21st January


Chestnut

Two more Chestnuts in the moth trap when I opened it this morning, keeping the year ticking over.

Not too much to report from Cley except a young male Peregrine in the afternoon over Simmonds, apparently targetting Avocets, numbers of which seem to be reducing!  One pale-bellied Brent still and its nice to see Bearded Tits and hear three Cettis Warblers, while Water Rails continue to show, with two in front of Daukes (no camera!) and two along the East bank.

Besides more "Birding for Beginners"walks, NWT are talking about two moth evenings this summer as well as running a trap regularly Wednesday nights for Thursday mornings.  We did a bit there last year but a more organised effort is bound to pay dividends as well as adding to what visitors get to see.
