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.

Cley today

A pretty good day though the light was naff for photography, highlights being Kingfisher, 3 Water pipits and 7 Twite by the sluice along the west bank, 7 pale-bellied Brents shared between north scrape and Salthouse and a party of 6 Bewicks flying west along the coast.  Lots of Pinkfeet in the area as well, though mobile, plus a Cettis and Stonechat, so some insect feeders have made it through so far. The Marsh Harriers seem to be taking an interest in each other and a couple of Barn Owls showed along the grass banks off and on.  Waders were unexceptional but included a Knot on Pats Pool
