Norfolk-part one

We had a really good trip to Norfolk, which we had planned over 6mths ago. We were just passing the shop at Titchwell NR when this Purple Hairstreak landed on one of the feeders.
When it rained we retreated to bird hides and did some birding. (Pictures in next post)
We managed to Photograph Banded Damoiselle, Purple Hairstreak, Marbled White and White Admiral, which were all lifers. We also saw but could not get shots of, Red-eyed Damselfly and Brown Hawker which were also lifers.






















We were watching this Robber Fly when it suddenly jumped up and caught this Damselfly.
The Spider was also seen taking the Grasshopper.

    Superb images, John. I particularly like the White Admiral and Marbled White, and would have loved to have seen these and the Purple Hairstreak & Silver-washed Fritillary.

    Gorgeous butterflies and such an exquisite variety of insects! That type of photograph must take a lot of patience and know-how.
