Nice to find a #SnowBunting on #Cley beach this morning. An unusually mobile and flighty bird as it was chasing and catching flies #NorfolkBirding

I agree it’s a disaster for wildlife, all that work on positive net gain for nature on every development gone out of the window, people want nature on their doorstep. But I don’t read it that environmental NGO’s don’t stand to benefit, although I admit it’s more than a bit vague …

It’s been a challenge to get a photo of one of our local #LittleOwls as they rarely come out in daylight. Just about enough light at 9.26pm last night to get a photo, so I’m very happy 😁#NorthNorfolk #NorfolkBirding

Thanks James that’s what iNaturalist said too but my photo looks more like the Stag beetle in my Insect guide (Paul Brock) 🤔

Another exciting moment by the pond, a female #StagBeetle crawled out from under a rotting log, appeared to have a drink from the pond then returned to the log again #NorthNorfolk

Pool party! The new pond gives me hours of entertainment but unfortunately the dragonflies don’t get a look in #NorthNorfolk

Always a joy to see a #MistleThrush from the bedroom window and they're quite regular visitors here but this one was so close I struggled to get it in the frame! Raiding the Amelanchier tree for ripened berries. Taken through closed window #NorfolkBirding

So thrilled with how successful my new wildlife pond is after just 3 1/2 months, it’s so popular with birds & starting to look like it’s always been there, I set up a wildlife camera this afternoon - I am of course hoping for some rarities 😁#NorthNorfolk

And I love our pantile roof which has lots of little spaces for birds to nest, we’ve had 4 #HouseSparrow nests and a #Starling nest so far And our first fledglings have appeared #NorthNorfolk #NorfolkBirding

This has absolutely made my day! A first for the new garden - #Linnets!!! A pair of Linnets gorging on the dandelion seeds which I left alone in the lawn which I'm transforming into a wildflower meadow, such a great result and makes it so worthwhile #NorfolkBirding

This past week in Norfolk has felt like I'm on holiday, gorgeous weather & gorgeous birds, too many to mention but great to see & hear #GardenWarblers #LesserWhitethroats #TurtleDoves #Cuckoos #Whimbrels & the sky full of #Hobbies again, still can't believe I live here ♥️ #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding

Great day's birding in #NorthNorfolk today with some exceptionally fab birds seen but this evening's brief encounter with our local #BarnOwl flying past me just along the lane takes some beating #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding

So happy to open the bedroom blinds this morning and see our local #BarnOwl back, not only that but there were two! Jackdaws took over their box and we hadn't seen them for about 3 wks, but neighbours chased the Jackdaws out and things are looking hopeful again #NorthNorfolk
