Normal for Norfolk

As you are perhaps aware the phrase 'Normal for Norfolk' is used to describe something that is odd or unusual - Still with me?. Well, these this certainly is unusual.....Norfolk has managed 2 macro moth county firsts during the month of July. Firstly, Tree Lichen Beauty was recorded from Weybourne. Only 3 British records up until 1991 then 40 odd subsequently. The other is Cloaked Pug. A former resident species in the UK but now only encountered as a rare immigrant. This was trapped in Sheringham on July 22nd............

A variation Normal for Coalville is frequently used in the NHS too, certainly within Leicestershire.
