Marsh Tit on a branch. Still common round here, but for how long?
Crane walking through shallow water. An uncommon visitor to the local area and for one to hang around for more than a couple of days is truly exceptional. I don't think I've ever had better views of a Common Crane anywhere.
Green Hairstreak - fabulous green butterfly on a Dandelion flower. We haven't recorded them at this location before, but it is only about 250m away from a site where they are known to occur (or at least used to be).
Light Orange Underwing feeding on willow catkins. This was one of quite a good number of orange underwing sp. moths that were seen in flight at different parts of the wood. I only managed to net one to confirm it was Light Orange Underwing (and then releasing it), and later realised I'd also captured the feathered antennae of this one proving it also to be Light Orange Underwing. I suspect the others were too, but Orange Underwing is also reported to occur here so it's possible that both species were involved.
Some snaps from the the local area over the last few days: Marsh Tit still common round here, a Crane that's been here since February, Green Hairstreak at a new site for the species yesterday and Light Orange Underwing at it's only known current Norfolk site. #NorfolkBirds #NorfolkMoths
