Carlton Marshes Nature Reserve (SWT) & Oulton Broads Powerboat Racing - Thursday 25th May 2023

Well, it was certainly a day of two halves. First, Carlton Marshes, a reserve new to the club where we were hoping to find a variety of dragonflies and damselflies but it was too windy and cold for much activity and the majority of the birds were at a distance beyond most of our lenses.  However, it was a fantastic day to be out in the sunshine enjoying the peace and quiet with some friends.

Moving on to the evening session at Oulton Broad and it was all action!  Powerboats galore creating incredible speeds and noise which made for an exciting photo shoot.  We were lucky enough to arrive in time to grab front row spectator positions so we were able to make the most of the fantastic action.


Some of our images from the day can be seen below:
