Paul, certainly one of our oldest associates from our days as area memorabilia sellers, drove for 3 hours to affix us in a butterfly hunt in North Norfolk. First cease was Salthouse Heath, the place we instantly discovered first one, then a second stunning Inexperienced Hairstreak: the images present how tiny they’re! We turned conscious {that a} Turtle Dove was purring away in full view 100 metres away and I used to be thrilled to seize a few photos.
We moved to the Iron Highway, the place I might seen a lot of Wall Browns yesterday: maybe it was the overcast and chill breeze, however we failed to search out any immediately – however a Purple Kite swooping overhead was some recompense. After espresso on the Guests Centre we headed dwelling by way of Hickling: Paul was eager to meet up with Swallowtail once more. A stroll round the entire reserve gave us three fly-bys however no images, and we failed to search out any Wall Browns both! (We did see a lot of Hobbies, Marsh Harriers and Cranes!)
