| Post subject: | Essex and Norfolk. |
Trip to Essex visiting relatives, while there made a visit to Vange Marsh where i saw 15+ Scarce Emerald damselflies, many marbled whites, small and essex skippers. In the afternoon visited Belfairs wood in the dismal weather where i was lucky to find a single Heath fritillary resting during the rain and an Essex skipper closeby. Another dismal and rainy day on Monday but still found 10+ white legged damselflies at Waterhall Meadows nature reserve, Essex. In the afternoon made my way to Norfolk, decided to look at Carlton marshes, near Lowestoft, just checking it out without my camera, big mistake, walked across a footbridge and right below me a Norfolk hawker laying eggs in the water, saw another two Norfolk hawkers at this site on the wing. While i was in Norfolk i visited Catfield fen, saw a another two Norfolk hawkers, again on the wing and a single swallowtailand 10+ Variable damselflies in the car pk area. Visited Buxton heath for the silver studded blue where i found 25+ after a long walk .visited How Hill but saw no Swallowtails or Norfolk hawkers but dropped in there later on my way home because the currant bun actually made an appearance, and was rewarded with four Norfolk hawker sightings, one resting enabling me to get decent photos at last Colin Pumfrett. |
