Looking for wildlife in Norfolk and anywhere else I happen to be.
Tiny (~2mm) wingless ichneumonid wasp wandering around in the kitchen this evening. Possibly a Gelis species?

Sunrise on a misty autumn morning. Golden plover calling overhead and a badger casually crossing the road in front of me.

Smooth newt retraining as a gecko on the back door window. Impressive!

Purple hairstreak posing on a rose brings the garden butterfly list up to 22 species. Any new additions now will have to be something pretty unusual!

This fly hanging around the knapweed in the garden finally sat still for long enough to get a photo. I think it’s Acanthiophilus helianthi or knapweed ghost. @norfolknats.bsky.social

Quick video of a quail going “quickquickquick” quickly. Nice addition to the patch list.

Nice hopper on the garden gate. Probably the more common Issus coleoptratus but I don’t know enough to rule out Issus muscaeformis. Unfortunately didn’t manage to get a better head-on photo. @norfolknats.bsky.social @britishbugs.bsky.social

Vocal ravens on the local patch recently. Looks like someone has been taking potshots at this one.

Brown long-eared bat hibernating in the classic pose with ears tucked under wings. Nice to see boxes being used, in this case a Schwegler 1WQ bat box. @norfolknorwichbats.bsky.social
