That's a belter Jim, the bird and the photo 👍

Seawatching was the order of the day today in the wake of Storm Amy. As expected there wasn`t enough north in the wind at Cley, but still, enough of a blow for a few Sooty & Manx S/waters & a handful of Arctic Skuas + Gannets, Auks, Divers etc. #SuperSeabirdSunday

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

👏👏👏

At least it's not a spliff

👏👏🎉

A revisit of the Pecs Sands at Sallthouse paid divdends this morning when a seemingly fresh in-off male Pallid Harrier cut across our field of view heading inland. c1 hour later I bumped into it again over the Cley reserve. Just brilliant. Glossy Ibis, Cattle Egrets etc were relegated to "padders"

Wow, fantastic. Wish I was still down there.

I had the cheaper Schmidt and Bender equivalent. Disappointed from the outset 😕

All fascinating stuff as usual Phil

🤞

Have a listen to Saviour Machine by Bowie.......

Wow, Angelina Jolies' changed a lot

Seawatching at Hatteras anyone ?😳

BBC Radio 6 highlighting he worked as a journalist for Hamas beforehand (just to legitimise it) 🙄

Beautiful

I was trapping at the Long Pits with Ian Roberts many years ago when one came walking across the ground sheet towards our light 😁

Gaza: the grim reality of genocide

The first comprehensive analysis of how Israel's war on Gaza will cause suffering for generations to come.

I've close ups of several moth sp. at scale level, the textures and architecture are amazing

Cherry Bark Moth is one that continues to avoid me despite being reasonably well recorded in Norfolk. I've even got a Cherry Tree in my garden 🤷‍♂️

I'd swap that for calthella 😉

You'll have to come to Norfolk Dave, calthella is as common as. Easily seen in numbers feeding on pollen in Marsh Marigold flowers, Sedge too.

A friend of mine had "a few" near Weybourne yesterday

Spoonies getting busy at Cley again and my first Hobby of the year today was most obliging.

Beast

A week today and I’ll be there 🥳

Lovely set of images Richard

Aside from a few Chiffchaffs & some emigrating Wildfowl, Spring is still very much on hold here in N.Norfolk. Out & about first thing on Saturday morning even the birdsong seemed surpressed by the still biting wind. The Marsh Harriers always provide good entertainment though.

You might get another chance come Wednesday 🤞
