Thanks Wurzel, it’s ok, the next visit to Epsom Common was a vast improvement

Tuesday 7th, Norfolk. It was time to go in search of britannicus once more and after losing everything I took last year I was eager to replace as much as I could. Even so, coming home with over 2000 images was ridiculous even by my click happy standards so I’ll split the day into three sections, first the supporting cast. Last year was an excellent year for the odonata. This year by comparison was a little disappointing, everything was around, just in much lower numbers. The Marsh Harriers were showing well. A few in flight food exchanged happened but I was too slow to capture them on camera. Warblers of various species provided a permanent sound track to the day and a Common Tern posed conveniently outside one of the hides while a little further out a Great-crested Grebe was providing a bus service for the kids. Apart from the obvious, there was a decent range of butterflies, a mixture of battle weary oldies and freshly emerged. tbc
