To introduce myself: this is me working on a Moth evening at Salhouse Broad: one of a great many activities I got involved in as a Countryside Ranger. We had a moth expert: Jon Clifton and plenty of community support.

My first post! I have yet to update my profile as this blog is a new thing...and something I have longed to do. Before I logged on I was packing up my things to leave Norfolk and return to Southampton after spending a year managing a small broad as a countryside ranger. It is quite hard to get on with it as really I would just like to be out walking (old habits die hard) like I did yesterday evening. I walked out over Strumpshaw Fen and watched a barn owl hunting over the reeds in the sunset. Asides from packing up my stuff in a tiny rural village (Hemblington in Broadland)I have an entire environmental studies project to write too....and now I have found this very alluring blogging website where I can post all my pictures from my ranging around working in beautiful places. It could not be better!!!
