Hoping that the evening Sun might have enticed out a Willow Emerald or two, we parked at the end of 'Dr's Lane' and walked round to check their usual bushes near the railway crossing: no sign, unfortunately.
We did, however, find a couple of photogenic Swallowtail caterpillars chomping away on Milk Parsley: what an excellent coincidence that the larva of one of Norfolk's rarest butterflies wears a Norwich strip!
As we were walking south along Lackford Run, the water level in the dyke began to rise: soon the path started to flood, so we turned back, deciding to visit the meadow and see if the Barn Owls were hunting. They were! Too dark for photos, really, but you can just about make out the rat that one carried squealing back to the woods!
