19km walk at #Holkham Norfolk today under a blue sky and a warm September sun. Saw some great birds, including skeins of newly arrived Pink Footed Geese, 4 Hobby's hawking for Dragonflies, and 3 Whinchats. But perhaps the highlight of the day was half a dozen Clouded Yellow butterflies.

I love wildlife watching while cycling. Brimstone & Red Admiral kept my spirits high while riding through mid Norfolk yesterday. #savebutterflies
