    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Had my second Clouded Yellow of the year on the local patch this evening, nothing like as photogenic as the one obove as it insisted on hiding in a crab apple tree and wouldn't come down!! Record shot through bins! Also one or two Peacocks and the odd Coma flying about, seemingly enjoying this...

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Had this trim looking Clouded Yellow this afternoon while on my travels, never seen one before and don't mind confessing I thought it was some kind of moth before chasing it halfway across a field before it eventually settled and allowed a closer look!! Seen on the Redwings estate south of...

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Thanks for the ID confirmation! The grid ref is TM247 814 (south of Shotford heath, Weybread fishing complex) The site where I saw the three specimans was actually behind the now dissused sand and gravel extraction site, the area is basically a sand bowl left to go wild and return to something...

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Brown Argus? Saw around three of these today near a heathy type patch south of Harleston, don't recall seeing one like it before so might well be a first for me! Also found good numbers of the more familiar species including Painted Ladys etc, nodoubt helped by the numerous Budliea bushes in...

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Spent two or three hours walking through Ashwellthorpe Lower Wood NWT this morning in the vein hope of seeing a (reputed to be present here?) White Admiral, unfortunately none were seen. Wether or not they're still being recorded on this site I'm unsure, maybe I was just unlucky!! I did see a...

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    First chance to get back to one of the better wildflower meadows on the local patch this afternoon, nothing out of the ordinery but nice to catch up with a couple of Large Skippers, Meadow Brown and Gatekeeper along with Small Tortoiseshell and two or three Painted Ladies. Also two very fresh...

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Even more Painted Ladies!! Lost accurate count of them after double figures (including some in pairs) in my own sleepy corner of south Norfolk, nice to catch up with them on a late afternoon walk about the village since being out of the county for the last few days! No idea what the moth is? Matt

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Thanks! And most interesting! Had I known how little recorded this area is I would have been a little more precise recording what little I did see. Only other sightings were a few probable large whites/Green Veined seen in the hedgrows between Brundall and Cantley, a small blue butterfly...

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Had this nice Wall yesterday (12/5) while clinging (the butterfly not me!) to the walls of Cantley church in heavy wind, probably not a scarce species but still don't generally see that many of them!! Matt
