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.

8th – 15th June

Good numbers of moths still including an aberrant Heart and Dart and a selection of pesky pugs, Grey, Slender, Common and Green etc.

Aberrant Heart and Dart

Birds have been quiet though two Siskins through the garden is unusual for this time of year. I have however photographed two good plants, several of the 100+ Purple Broomrapes close to us and Fen Orchid in the Broads, the latter much wanted.

Dragonflies have included Variable Damsel, Hairy and 4-spot Chaser while butterflies, though generally thin on the ground did include a Swallowtail,our first ever UK-photographed Brown Argus, plus a first Painted Lady of the year and a couple of second generation Brimstones.
