I was back, it was proving to be a different week to what I had planned, thanks mainly to the weather, so I returned to my favourite place in Norfolk.
The day remained cloudy and with a cold wind, which resulted in me seeing no Butterflies at all today, a few Damselflies were about Azure, Common Blue and Blue tailed, alas no larger Dragonflies today, so it turned mainly into a birding day.
Heading out onto the reserve, I moved around the Dragonfly loop first, seeing nothing more than I’ve already mentioned, I did find other insects, Hoverflies, Eristalis balteatus, Helophilus pendulus and a Anasimyia contracta. Other insects were a Snipe Fly (Chrysopilus cristatus} and a few Potter Wasps.
The bird species virtually remained the same as previous days, I think mainly due to the time of year, I did make the effort to go down to the beach area, in doing so I found a good number of Bar tailed Godwit along with Knot and Turnstone, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
