After moth-ing at Natural Surroundings where there was a good number of moths of few species. The highlights were our first Pine Beauty of 2018 and a definite Lead-coloured Drab. Greg was very informative and interesting regarding ID as part of the general group to-day. Anne Harrop was assisted by Richard and Mike, so that was an improvement too.
A singing Chiffchaff at NS and another at Glandford - ford area - another at Kelling Heath. A House Martin and three Swallows passing through along Beach Road Cley followed by the surprise of Sam from the cafe manning the payment shed in the car park. The next car contained Ian and Sue !
Sleeping Egyptian Goose at Iron Road
a hot chocolate from Julian at Salthouse and off to Cockthorpe.
We'd been told by Jeb and Mike that we could see a Little Owl on the chicken sheds. We pulled up outside Nos 12B and 13B where Mike had seen one ..... nothing.
After crossing the road to the opposite concrete pad, we looked again and Pam saw one Little Owl crouched, back turned to us, under the ventilation covers at the apex of the roof of 13B.
I'm not proud of this pic ! You can just see its eyebrows.... |
