@DJLbirding @Natures_Voice @RSPB_Strumpshaw Rightly proud Drew!

Whilst I'm sad to cancel my last events of the year at Strumpshaw Fen (⛈️), this doesn't detract from how proud I am in raising c£2700 for @Natures_Voice in 2024 as a volunteer guided walk leader! It's a privilege sharing my passion with others for this wonderful place. 😄

@LingwoodMurray @RSPB_Strumpshaw They were both posing nicely so I'm glad you got good pics!

Fen Hide at @RSPB_Strumpshaw came up trumps again today. Both Water Pipit & Grey Wagtail on view for over an hour or so over lunchtime @bodminking

@Norwichbirder The bright colour made me pot it for a closer look (especially as there weren't many moths) and @applewildlife suggested keeping it to see if it moulted - fascinating to see that it did. I will record it

@KerrMick @norfolkmoths @MigrantMothUK Two years since mine in VC27 - your pics far better than my pot shot! Congratulations!

@VannaBartlett1 @themarshtit @thorogoodchris1 @OBGHA I counted 14 yesterday on my purple toadflax in Lower Hellesdon

@IainHLeach @BritishMoths @mothmatters Oooh, lucky you with the Marsh Carpet. It's about 7 weeks since this year's only Marsh Carpet in my Norwich garden. Are they usually this late at the site you visited? Or maybe just this year due to the weather?

Back from a few nights moth trapping in East Anglia. Marsh Carpet, White-spotted Pinion, Dentated Pug, Silver Barred from a couple of fenland sites. @BritishMoths @mothmatters

@FlyinginFordham @BritishMoths No. I did for a bit but then decided it must be a dodgy Silver Y so released it. Maybe regretting that now...

@bodminking @BritishMoths Did you retain it?

Moth mystery from last night at Chippenham Fen... specimen will be dissected this week.

@norfolkbirdtour @norfolkmoths Great news - and welcome to the club Marcus!

I wasn't sure yesterday's moth would be beaten quickly, then (like buses!) this appeared in the traps this am. Marsh Carpet - 'Nationally Rare', 'Near Threatened', new for here and TG02 square and a long way from any known colonies. One I never thought we would ever find here.

@SarahKirbyPrint @HearleSharon @savebutterflies @norfolkmoths Unfortunately not in my area.

@HearleSharon @savebutterflies @norfolkmoths @bodminking have you got them too Laura ?

Insane numbers of Forester moth in the Brecks today - getting a bit crowded @savebutterflies @norfolkmoths

@StewCB Thank you!

@bodminking It’s a Southern Hawker (Aeshna cyanea). Nice!

@DavidNorgate Thanks Dave. I need to look them up.

@norfolkcanary29 Yep, everywhere under water with nowhere for it to go! Good luck on the bird count today - I'm guessing the grey wag was AWOL? On the plus side (??) there are loads of gulls around 😉

@bodminking Hellesdon mill today

@BirdBeards I saw a big flock as I stopped at lights on Colman Road this afternoon.

New list: Birds seen from sitting room while suffering from Covid. Waxwings ✅ Counted c.42 of them.

@DavidNorgate 😅

@DavidNorgate Me too!!

@norfolkbirdtour I was there early afternoon and the Brents did keep giving it a peck !

The second Red-breasted Goose was showing well with the Brent Geese on the saltmarsh at Holkham last thing this afternoon, just as the light was going (I needed an ISO of 12800!). The Brents were not very friendly and were continually harrying at it.

@SarahKirbyPrint Looking forward to it!

Open Studio .... bit of an early shout but it does get a bit busy that end of the year... so some advance warning... lots of others taking part - print, painting, pots, glass, wood, embroidery... not to mention fizz, fairy lights, cake and a lovely warm welcome! SAVE THAT DATE!

@KerrMick So true...

A Dusky Clearwing came to TAB lure this afternoon in Lower Hellesdon- a first for Norfolk, which is exciting 😊
