    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Hi guys I've only just started to get into butterflies and wondered if any of you could help me out. Are the swallowtails showing at Hickling, and the dark green fritillary at Horsey? Any info/directions/other species to look out for would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

    Regarding the recent kites we down here in Suffolk have also been having a fair few (no doubt the same individuals as you in most cases). Of interest one of our birds had very distinct white scaps. Did that bird get seen in Norfolk? Reason I ask is a local birder has done some research and got...

    Gonna be in north Norfolk tomorrow and just wondered if there's much about that I'm not aware off. Maybe any velvet scoter or long tailed ducks anywhere, that sort of thing. News has been quiet on the shorelarks at Cley in the last two days. Assume they have moved on then? Cheers

    whats the deal with these shorelarks at Holkham? About 20 were reported not so long ago, no news since. Just wondered if anyone has seen or heard of them lately? Cheers

    Suffolk Birding

    Funny you should mention the voles, had them the other day. Completely unaware of my presence. As for the birds on saturday evening, quite a lot was noted. Had 3 smart, summer plumaged spotshanks (1 on east scrape, 2 on the levels), 3 knot on east scrape (with 1 with a hint of red in its...

    Hiya Paul I too tried for nightjar at Dunwich about a fortnight ago but didn't see any. The birds called very briefly (for about five minutes) and then shut-up for the night. However, I returned again last evening and got great views of at least five birds in very good light conditions (think...
