Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 20hLots of these magnificent beasts in the garden at the moment #ukwildlife 050
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Wall Brown butterflies at Roydon Common this evening. I can't help but think they've left it a bit late in the year for this kind of romantic activity #ukwildlife #butterflies #ukbutterflies 040
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Woodlarks singing at Roydon Common this evening (sound on) #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0170
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 30/09/2026One of three Wheatears on the beach at Holme yesterday evening #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0102
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Yellow-browed Warbler at Holme this evening. An autumn migrant, once very scarce but more numerous in recent years. A small influx seems to have arrived on the Norfolk coast today following the first easterly winds we've had for ages #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0200
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Peregrine back on Kings Lynn power station this evening #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0180
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 26/09/2026This remarkable thing hanging over the garden this evening. 051
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 26/09/2026A preening Purple Sandpiper at Titchwell this afternoon #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0180
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Purple Sandpiper at Titchwell this afternoon. First one I've seen in ages, as we don't get so many down this western end of the North Norfolk coast. This one had chosen a resting spot close to the main path, so quire a crowd gathered #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0180
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 26/09/2026A few Gannets fishing offshore at Holme last night. The adults stayed a long way out, but the juveniles didn't seem to mind coming a bit closer to the beach #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0110
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Arctic Skua flyby on Holme beach this evening #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0150
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Snow Bunting on Holme beach this evening. A winter visitor, think this is the first time I've ever seen one in September #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0291
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Roe Deer at Roydon Common last night #ukwildlife #mammal 091
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 22/09/2026A few more Kingfisher pics from Lakenheath Fen on Sunday evening #UKBirding #birds 1180
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Pleased to announce that my Lithops have flowered. 061
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Lesser Whitethroat, preening itself within the cover of a hawthorn bush at Roydon Common this evening. Not particularly uncommon, but always tricky to spot during breeding season. They tend to become a bit more visible in the autumn when they start migrating #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 1120
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 21/09/2026One of this year’s young Hobbies (distinguished from the adults by the lack of red trousers) hunting dragonflies over Lakenheath Fen last night. Fattening itself up for its first flight down to Africa in a few weeks’ time #UKBirding #birds 1140
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Kingfisher vs fish, a bit of a one-sided contest, at Lakenheath Fen last night #UKBirding #birds 0212
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026A close encounter with this living jewel, at Lakenheath Fen this evening #UKBirding #birds 0196
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Coming towards the end of a very good butterflysummer, so I thought I'd post pics of the species I've seen for the first time this year. Some I've not spotted before because they're rare, and others because I wasn't paying enough attention. Details in alt text #ukwildlife #butterflies #ukbutterflies 1255
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Barn Owl, devouring something small and squeaky it caught on Terrington Marsh this evening. I like to think the third photo shows a hearty burp being released, but I have no way of confirming that #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 1240
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Another short video of the juvenile Sparrowhawk in my garden this afternoon #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0223
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Young Sparrowhawk in the garden this afternoon, dealing reasonable well with the wet and windy weather #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0170
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Stunner of a Sparrowhawk in the garden this afternoon. We normally only get fleeting visits, but this one stayed for about 15 minutes. Looks like one of this year's juveniles #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0211
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Red-legged Partridge gang at Roydon Common yesterday evening #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0303
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 16/09/2026A small herd of Red Deer hinds, off in the distance at Roydon Common this evening. A species I hardly ever see in this part of the world #ukwildlife #mammal 080
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Roe Deer at Roydon Common this evening #ukwildlife #mammal 090
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Parasol Mushroom on Roydon Common last night. Definitely getting into fungi season right now. 041
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Came across several of these Minotaur Beetles on Roydon Common last night #ukwildlife 050
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Really pleased to spot my first Short Eared Owls of the autumn this evening. Just something very special about these birds #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0321
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026My first Short-eared Owl of the autumn, at Ongar Hill near Kings Lynn this evening #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 1250
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Barn Owl at Ongar Hill this evening. Always a stunning experience #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0201
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Had a close encounter with this Hare on Roydon Common a couple of days ago #ukwildlife #mammal 070
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Bar-tailed Godwits on Titchwell beach yesterday afternoon #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0180
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Excellent afternoon at Titchwell. Both Spotted Crakes showing well on opposite sides of the fresh marsh. Offshore, a smart summer plumaged Red-throated Diver (my first of the autumn) and several moulting Eiders. And a Hobby high overhead on the way back to the car #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0250
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Holme 2 Bronze Age timber circle, the “other Seahenge”. Amidst all the fuss around the excavation of Seahenge in 1999, it was slightly brushed over that there was a second monument on the beach. Left in place, it can still be seen on particularly low tides, like we had today 3202
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Stonechat at Roydon Common yesterday #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 2180
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Roe Deer family portrait. At Roydon Common this afternoon #ukwildlife #mammal 052
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Deadly Nightshade (Atropa Belladonna) at Grimston Warren this afternoon. Don't be tempted by those shiny berries! Very windy, so I had to hold the plant steady for the photos. Made sure to wash my hands before I ate my Twix on the way home. 0193
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Long bike ride today, and stopped at this spot on the River Nar as I always do, for the Graylings. Ropey phone video only, as the proper camera spoils the cycling aerodynamics #ukwildlife 191
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Another video of the fox I spotted at the weekend (discretely edited at the point where it stops to take a territorial pee on the quarry floor) #ukwildlife #mammal 020
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Looking again at my Spotted Crake photos from Titchwell yesterday, and they do seem to confirm at least two birds present. The darker faced, pale flanked adult and the lighter faced, spottier juvenile #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 1210
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Brown Argus amongst the heather at Roydon Common. Taken a couple of weeks ago, when the persistent drizzle we're having today was just a distant dream #ukwildlife #ukbutterflies #butterflies 070
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Willow Emerald damselfly at Titchwell yesterday afternoon #ukwildlife 070
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Lepidopteral highlights of a trip to the North Norfolk coast this afternoon. Speckled Wood at Titchwell and Wall Brown at Burnham Overy #ukwildlife #butterflies #ukbutterflies 030
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I can't help myself, keep going back to Titchwell for the Spotted Crake. Now thought to be at least two present. One actually came some distance out from the undergrowth today, much to the delight of the watching crowd #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0151
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Willow Emerald damselfly at Titchwell this afternoon #ukwildlife 081
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Migrant Hawker at Burnham Overy this afternoon. What a stunning beast #ukwildlife 061
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Spotted this fox, mercilessly hunting feathers on a disused gravel pit near Kings Lynn this afternoon #ukwildlife #mammal 241
