Forgive me folks. Its been a long old time since I last made a blog post. Back then this was steemit and I see many dramas have occurred in my absence.
Norfolk has had a pretty cold and miserable spring, but last week brought about a big change and now we have hot weather, beautiful sunshine and many burnt people.
This bank holiday Monday I took advantage of the new weather to get back into some wild places and find some cool creatures and plants to photograph

I visited a new place for me, Kelling heath. I was hoping to find the beautiful Emperor moth, which I have never seen before, as it's the end of their flight season. Sadly no moths but I do look forward to making a more determined effort to find them next year. I did however find this lovely Small Copper butterfly, a first of the year form me.

After Kelling Heath I headed to an old favorite haunt, a delightfull river valley full of wildlife called Glanford. There was insect life in perfusion and wildflowers galore in the flood plain.

I was unable to photograph a beautiful blue kingfisher that zipped passed at high speed, or the handsome greater spotted woodpecker with his blood red rump. I did however have great time photographing flowers and dragonflies and I spent a while following a giant hornet in the hope of finding its nest. A mission for another day!

Welcome back, the UK is looking great this May/ June - best time of year!
Cheers Zebedee! It is lovely. looking forward to more adventures soon.
Good to have you posting again. Hive has moved on a bit from what Steem was. Hope it's fun for you.
I've been camping at Kelling Heath a few years back. Nice part of the country. Great pics. There are some communities that like this sort of nature shots.

Thanks Steve. I'm pleased to see people interested in the content I want to make. I need to re-explore this platform. I'm sure there where no 'communities' when I was last here and I would like to find others with similar interests.
Fascinating insects has a lot of people. You can post to your own feed and cross-post to a community to get seen there if you like. Just have to see what works for you.
Have fun.
