    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    They are all Large Skippers. Note the pale spotting in the wings that Small and Essex don't show. Regards Simon

    Up to 8 Clouded Yellows lingering at Choseley Barns per another forum. Worth a look if you're in the area. Simon

    Do you have any precise info on the location of the Clouded Yellows at Queen Hills, providing there is public access of course? Simon

    A single Common Blue was in Felbrigg Park this afternoon, which was especially nice to see given their scarcity round here last year. Simon

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Had a Red Admiral y'day in Overstrand, and today there was a Peacock there too which was flying high up above the prom before it disappeared into the cliff top vegetation seemingly having just come in-off the sea. Simon

    Mark Thought the above was quite self explanatory really. Just a thought but how about contributing something positive to one of the Norfolk threads for a change? Simon

    Saw a Red Admiral in Felbrigg Park today, anyone else seen any butterflies brought out by this recent mild weather? Simon

    Painted Lady in Felbrigg Park today, think that's only the second one I've seen this year with the first in early June. Simon

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Purple Hairstreaks continue to show very well in Felbrigg Park. In addition to the ones John found on the western side of the lake, the one pictured below was one of two which were coming down to feed on Thistle heads on the eastern side of the lake this morning. Simon

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Rather strange sight to say the least today at Felbrigg when a 'large butterfly' flew past me which didn't immediately register. When 'it' landed I was shocked to see that it was infact a Ringlet and a Gatekeeper in apparent copulation! They moved from the grass up on to the brambles and then...

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    White Admirals were showing well at Holkham today along the main track running west from the bottom of Lady Annes Drive. I saw about a dozen between the start of the track and Salts Hole coming down on to the brambles either side of the track, and with patience providing good photo...

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Just for info I saw Wall near the radar station at Overstrand in August (pic attached) and I've a vague recollection of seeing one on the cliffs below Cromer GC too last summer so there are obviously a few about in the near vicinity to Cromer. Regards Simon

    Small Tortoiseshell sunning itself on the clifftop at West Runton today, I guess taking advantage of the mild weather were currently having. Simon

    Chalkhill Blues For anyone who fancies a look, the Chalkhill Blues at Warham Fort were showing well in the week. Simon

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Thanks James Amazingly having never seen one before, I managed to chance upon some more PH's today on the outskirts of Cromer! They were keeping to the tree canopy but you could get reasonable scope views of the underwings when they landed. Yes I'd say your Skipper is an Essex. The black...

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Purple Hairstreak? Not seen one before but presume the attached pic is of a (worn) Purple Hairstreak which was by Felbrigg Lake yesterday? The underwing which I didn't get a pic of, as it was only there briefly before disappearing back up into the trees, had a white line parallel with the...

    Painted Ladies Good numbers along the cliff tops between Cromer and Trimingham today too. Simon
