She's still alive so I assume the food was ok.
We had a choice this morning of Cley, Minsmere and Titchwell and went for Titchwell. Big mistake they've removed Parrinder hide and won't replace it until December 2010. Birds were few and far between.
We did get Titchwell Robin....
At the shore there were Godwits, Scoter, Little Ring Plover, Dunlin, Sanderling and a Sandwich Tern.
So we turn to Butterflies and the like
Darter Species
Small Tortoiseshell
Much muttering from T about the incoming insects.
Long Tailed Tit
As there were few birds at Titch I suggested going to Hunstanton cliffs to see if we could get shots of Fulmar.
a certain blogger selecting between cameras.
Fulmar
Herring Gull, they fly totally differently
We had lunch at Briarfields before heading for Sculthorpe Moor.
Red Admiral.
Darter
Ruddy Darter I think
A chair in honour of my mates Hugh and Dave.
Speckled Wood
Marsh Tit, I thought one of the "marsh" was a Willow but no photo and not sure.
A Marsh Harrier zipped through at Sculthorpe and we saw a Buzzard on the way back.

I'm very happy to hear that Trisha is still alive and well, lol. So what did you cook? The photos are wonderful.
Cracking pictures Pete; looks like you had a full day.
Love the captures of the flying bee or hover.

the main was bread prawns, thai style fish cakes, tomato and mozarella salad and chunky chips. the dessert was a belgian chocolate creation.

i got so lucky with the bee!
The meal was excellent (and yes OC, I'm still alive to tell the tale! Lol)
(The less said about approaching flying things the better IMHO)
I wish i was seawatching in Cornwall- rather than dog walking!
Some good shots of the Fulmars there Pete - how about putting one on BBF for Pauco - he loves his gulls!
cheers

Back to the Cricket!
first darter pic- common
ruddy? oh yes it is ,two black blotches on tail.
Love the fulmar shots. We went to see red kites at the weekend at one of the former release sites. Must look out the pics.
BTW , the NE Scottish coast was eerily quiet this summer. Hardly any gannets, terns or skuas. Even the swifts were in short supply.
