Snakefly but wouldn't like to say which one of the 4 species we have in Norfolk! Seen today near Great Hockham. Not lots about today but saw a Green Hairstreak, Latticed Heaths and numerous Brown Silver-lines. Very happy to hear 2 Cuckoos. Photo by Kevin Radley

Recent sightings at Saltholme. The Pill Beetle was my favourite, though it refused to play with me; curled up and showed me how it got it’s name! (The Spoonbill didn’t appear to have moved since I saw it a fortnight earlier). 🪶🐡 #birdingNortheast

A wonderful and moving celebration of Sir David Attenborough on the BBC tonight, what a show, well done to all involved. The wildlife delivering his telegram film was lovely. I said during it that it must be time for Blue Planet III soon, so I can’t wait for that.

Happy birthday, Sir David Attenborough. I’m in awe of the immense work he and those he’s worked with have done to document the wonders of the natural world and engage us to connect with and protect it. A constant in our lives bringing hours of joy and knowledge. The word legend doesn’t seem enough.
