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.

1st - 8th June

1st-8th June


A mixed bag of weather and lots of moths in the traps including record numbers of Heart and Dart, a few common migrants, our first ever White-pinion Spotted and Poplar Kitten and a couple of oddities which need a closer look.

A trip to Hoveton Hall Gardens in warm sunshine on 4th got our first Norfolk Hawkers, 4-spot Chasers, Black-tailed Skimmers and Emperors in UK as well as stacks of Azures and Large Reds, the latter also on our pond with a couple of BBCs.

Birds have been interesting – I finally twitched the Cley Trumpeter Finch on its last day, didn’t do the Black winged Stilts but did make an evening dash to Cley last night for a new for Norfolk Blue-winged Teal and a bonus Spoonbill.
