However, I have been visiting North Norfolk for over 35 years and I love the place, yes, certain places are packed out in the Summer, we drove through Hunstanton and Wells and past Lady Annes Drive in Holkham and they were heaving with folks. In stark contrast we spent the best part of three hours at Dersingham bog and only saw about 6 other people.
Glad you enjoyed the images Nick, I'm very impressed with Bethanys new little camera, it takes great images and it cost less than £50 in the Argos sale, guess there's a lesson for all us photographers there  |

| | | Re: Day out in Norfolk Sounds like you had a great day out with your Dad Bethany, mind you he is a great bloke to go hunting wildlife with!
Thanks for such a descriptive narrative and the very good pics, I'll put Dersingham Bog on my list of places to visit at the end of August, when we have a few days away from work.

| | | Re: Day out in Norfolk Hi dave, yes, it really was a great day! And you're right about dad, he always seems to know exactly where to look for insects and such.

Its good to see his daughter becoming one of them
I remember when my kids got to your age and a bit older.
Amazingly they thought their dad wasn't so stupid as they
had previously thought
When will you come to to a WAB meet? |

| | | Re: Day out in Norfolk Hi cazzie, comments much appreciated!
Hi hobjob, I've always had an interest in nature and love to learn more about it, that's one of the reasons why i joined WAB. I've learned lots from on here, already.
And as for your question, I'm not sure when I'll be coming to a WAB meet.
