No Glossy Ibis at Oby on an unsurprisingly quiet WeBS count this morning. 100+ Swallows and a single House Martin passing through. Seeing Albion moored up was the highlight #norfolkbirding

Outsiders, a documentary photography project of homelessness in modern Britain, is currently at Cromer Artspace until the 14th Sept. Powerful, moving images and harrowing stories. cromer-artspace.uk/events/event... @marcdavenant.bsky.social @artscouncilengland.bsky.social

Needle. Haystack. At least on a wet afternoon.

Hello @bsky.app. we are Norfolk Ponds Project - a science-led partnership NGO focused on pond restoration & #ghostpond ressurection. We aim to educate, lobby & inspire others on ponds. We used to Tweet & had 5000+ followers. ***Please follow & help us achieve the same here***!!!

If you are in Norfolk and want to see the Outsiders exhibition it opens next in Cromer on 29 August at the Artspace on the Prom.

"Bastard Cabbage" is something I often think when I come across a yellow crucifer without fruits. In this case it had fruits thankfully, and was indeed Bastard Cabbage, Rapistrum rugosum. RSPB Berney Marshes #wildflowerhour

Brackish grassland at Berney Marshes also has Sea Barley, Strawberry Clover (several punnets worth), saltmarsh rush and slender bird's-foot trefoil. #wildflowerhour

Some good quality brackish grassland, showing the benefit of cattle grazing, behind the floodwall at RSPB Berney Marshes-Breydon Water. Slender Hare's-ear the most notable species #wildflowerhour

The largest single patch of Marsh Mallow - Althaea officinalis - that I know of in the Broads is at RSPB Berney Marshes. Only a few plants still flowering yesterday but did allow me to collect some seed.

Looking forward to seeing this exhibition in Cromer. I was that keen that we went along in August 2024 before realising we were a year too early!

Good flight views of what I've assumed is a female Clouded Yellow f. helice rather than one of the rare species. Along Breydon North wall this morning. Only managed this poor shot of underwings @norfolkbutterflies.bsky.social

Flowering Rush (not a rush, as in family Juncaceae) - Butomus umbellatus - on a ditch margin at the Ouse Washes NR, Cambridgeshire.

I didn't manage to see one, but at least 4 Great Green Bush-crickets calling around Stubb Mill, Hickling yesterday. Have been expanding their range through Norfolk in recent years.

Ray's knotgrass - Polygonum oxyspermum subsp. raii - on Gorleston beach last week. Only other VC25 E Suffolk records are from Landguard/Felixstowe although it has been recorded on nearby Great Yarmouth beach (VC27 E Norfolk) in 2024 and 2025.

Tufted Sedge - Carex elata - Strumpshaw Fen NR #wildflowerhour

Bog-myrtle - Myrica gale - flowering at Strumpshaw Fen NR #wildflowerhour

The Outsiders touring exhibition on homelessness and substandard housing is now open at @stalbansmuseums.bsky.social. Please spread the word and visit if you can. St Albans is only 25 minutes from St Pancras and this is the only opportunity to see it in the South of England.

Drake Goosander just flew up the River Yare at Thorpe Marshes, then took a left into Whitlingham. Photo for location context - bird was too quick for me! #NorfolkBirding

Highlights of today’s #WeBS count at Oby were 11 Common Snipe feeding in the marshes and c1,500 Wigeon on the two waterbodies (75% frozen over). #NorfolkBroads #NorfolkBirding

Couldn’t include them in the #WeBS count as they only flew overhead, but good to see and hear up to 34 Cranes throughout today’s survey at Oby. First flew to St. Benets Levels and then to Upton Marshes. #NorfolkBroads #NorfolkBirding

34 Cranes flew over Thurne just now towards St Benets. #NorfolkBirding

Just got details of this Black-headed Gull seen at Thorpe Green, Norwich. Ringed as an adult in Poland on the southern side of the Baltic in 2017. Been spending each winter at Thorpe since then, though also likes to stop off at the seaside on its way back (Cromer and Hunstanton) #NorfolkBirding

A birds-eye view of Halvergate Marshes which shows just how flat the #BroadsNationalPark truly is 🌍 This area was once a Great Estuary in Roman Times, it's impressive to see how much it has changed. Our highest point is only 38m, making us extremely flat compared to the UK's other National Parks!

Grabbed the last hour of stunning light at Strumpshaw Fen. Not a breath of wind either, so very atmospheric. Bird highlights were 13+ Marsh Harriers into roost, Water Rails squealing and a Barn Owl drifting along the edge of the fen meadow.

Given it was the 1st yesterday I thought I'd put the trap out for a December Moth. This singleton obliged. Also 2 Feathered Thorn. #teammoth #Norfolkmoths

Mass escape from the Manea cotton wool farm this morning, as viewed from the train. Alternatively, c300 Whooper swans (unless you can pick out some Bewick’s…) just north of the Ouse Washes. #UKBirding #TheFens

Norwich and Peterborough this week. #photography

Bristly Oxtongue along the banks of The Haven, Boston. #wildflowerhour

Brief walk along the River Welland upstream of Fossdyke Bridge this morning. Good views of a 1st winter female Red-breasted Merganser next to a couple of Wigeon. 51 Pink-footed geese over plus a mixed flock of c120 Redwings and Fieldfares. #ukbirding

Apparently it's a bury your head kind of morning. Montpellier snake and Greater Flamingo at San Pedro del Pinatar, Murcia #photography
