Clouds

Apart from being fascinated with trees I am also fascinated by clouds.

Pesticide course

To the Bat Cave!!!

Did a very batty task last Monday with the Trinnies volunteers, clearing brambles away from Ormesby Water Works Bat House, it was very overgrown and apparently Bats dont like brambles very scratchy near their sensitive wings if they are in the way of their flight path, got loads done, but still picking out thorns from various places!!!

Walsingham Snowdrops

Went to Walsingham the other week, carpets of white like snow, it was very lovely!

Is Spring here yet?

Well, can we breathe a sigh of relief yet, is Spring here yet, or are we being lulled into a false sense or security, March is supposed to be "in like a Lion and out like a Lamb"
Pictures were taken on a walk into Yarmouth along Caister beach early morning, and the clouds were taken Scratby Cliffs last week.If you look carefully you can see a tiny rainbow beneath the clouds!

Titchwell and Sunny Hunny

Had a lovely day out on Saturday, poodling up the North Norfolk Coast, went to Titchwell Nature Reserve, saw lots of birds, lots of ticks not ticks as in nasty insects, but ticks as in birds ive not seen, which is a lot!!!Little Stint, Little Ringed Plover, Curlew Sandpiper Spoonbills, they drifter in late in the day, we stayed till sunset which was breathtaking, the light was perfect even for my poor old binoculars!!!
We then fancied fish and chips so went off to Hunstanton or sunny Hunny, went up the cliffs.the views were lovely the day was perfec!!!!!

Chalkhill Blues at Wareham

Last month on a beautiful balmy day had a lovely adventure up  in North Norfolk at a lovely place called Wareham Camp, we found a pub called The Three Horseshoes at Wareham, went straight accross the crossroads, and parked in a little lay by, i task was to find the Chalkhill Blue butterfly, we walked along the lane and came to a path off to our right, the wind had got up a bit but down this path we were well sheltered it was lovely and warm, a fleeting promise of things to come as a flash of lilac blue fluttered by us, through a large gate at the bottom of the lane, and our breath was taken away, a vast mound with a large ditch between another large embankment, and covered in wild flowers including ragwort which itself was covered in lilac butterflys, we sat atop the mound and were surrounded by these beautiful little lilac shimmering beauties, well worth a visit.
