Trip to Norfolk & the Broads

On Sunday 16th, a trip into deepest Norfolk, to an area of heathland, I hadn't visited before, I drove through a swathe of silver birch trees to the car park and from the gate walked right, almost immediately I saw and photographed a briefly confiding Silver- studded Blue butterfly, I walked down the path for some 5 minutes, initally I saw a male and female Yellowhammer flew onto a small bush. I walked over to a wet area and immediately spotted a few examples of my quarry, Heath Spotted Orchid there were around 30 on this area plus a few hybrids and by the reedy area some Southern Marsh Orchids too. I was hearing several Willow warblers and I saw my first Willow Warbler for over 2 years when it hopped up from the bush and the flew to an adjacent bush, a second Willow Warbler also showed too. I could also hear a Wood Lark singing and I saw the bird briefly fly away. I also saw a Dragonfly sp. that had me totally stumped. Speaking to Jane F, she mentioned Keeled Skimmer and looking in the books when I got back, that's what its is a fantastic immature male Keeled Skimmer. I could hear Cuckoo too, walking down to a roped off area there were more Heath Spotted orchids, Southern Marsh Orchids and 3 plants Marsh Helleborines about to flower soon. Meanwhile 2 Buzzards wheeled overhead. walking back near the entrance gate, a Mistle Thrush flew down onto the path briefly before flying back. What a fantastic place I will back! I then drove to a Broad, a taking the boardwalk to the centre that is ALWAYS closed, I scanned over the broad and spotted the superb Osprey nest and the female Osprey sat on the extreme left of the nest. After 10 minutes the male Osprey flew in with a fish clutched in one talon, a few minutes later it flew off left still with the fish clutched to its talons! Close to the centre I could hear the distinctive mewing of 2 Mediterranean Gulls wheeling around, 1 second year bird with 2 black bands oin the tips of its primaries and 1 an adult bird with pure white wings. They kept wheeling around. I looked back at the nest and I couldn't see any Ospreys so I walked back by the boardwalk near the car park, I saw a Lesser Stag Beetle fly onto the boards, I quickly got my camera out but fitting the flash unit spooked the beetle and disappeared into the gap between the boards just I was ready to take its pic! Next onto a traditional site for fen Orchid, going to the usual area, I searched for 30 minutes and eventually saw 1 small Fen Orchid just north of the path near a bush.
