Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Went into the kitchen to make a cup of tea, and was absolutely astonished to see this outside the window! Never had a Tawny Owl in the garden before. Stayed long enough for me to run upstairs and get my camera #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 4310
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Fieldfare at Roydon Common this evening. After this morning's Redwings, it's been a very winter thrush themed kind of day #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0242
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 08/10/2026At least a couple of hundred Redwings flying south over the garden this morning. A few came down to rest in my apple tree, obviously a bit out of puff after spending the night flying across the North Sea #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 1201
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Watching the incoming Redwings this morning, I was quite surprised to see this squadron of Spoonbills come over. Only the second time I've ever seen any over my garden here on the outskirts of Kings Lynn #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0200
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 08/10/2026First big flocks of Redwings coming in over the garden this morning #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0170
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 07/10/2026This Sparrowhawk was chasing Meadow Pipits over Roydon Common late yesterday evening #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 090

Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Two Kingfishers flew under the bridge a few minutes later, and I saw this circumzenithal arc, like an upside down rainbow. 010
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Bike ride pit stop by the River Nar near Pentney. 140

Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Lapland Bunting, on my fifth attempt at Holme this afternoon. I know it's a rubbish photo, but having trudged along the seawall from Thornham nearly every day this week to take it, I'm going to share it anyway #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0191
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Juvenile Gannet diving sequence, off Holme beach this afternoon #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 0120
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Head started Curlew in Thornham Harbour on Thursday evening. According to the recovery project website, this guy was released at Sandringham and spent all last winter at Thornham. My sighting was the first reported since April. I wonder where he spent the summer #UKBirding #norfolkbirding #birds 1161
Steve Fitzgerald @stevefitz.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Lots 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 · 22/09/2026Pleased 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 up of one of the timbers. Not sure if these are tool marks or not 020
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
