Really enjoying the beginning of my macrophyte propagule identification journey. This beautiful collection is just a few macrofossils that I picked out from a resurrected ice age ghost pond in Norfolk. Not all propagules but pretty none the less

Waiting with anticipation to see what grows 🌱 from my ice age ghost pond muds 👻. Had a lovely time at Wakehurst place last week dividing the sediment samples into germination tanks and tucking them in all cosy under their little 45micron night caps 😴

‘It’s resurrection’: 1,000-year-old seeds could grow ancient plants in England’s ice-age ghost ponds So excited to be quoted in this article about our resurrected #ghostponds with members of our fantastic team @carlsayer.bsky.social, @hburningham.bsky.social, @timholtwilson.bsky.social

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore. So I wrote a blog about ten things you can do *right now* to help defeat Farage, Musk, and rightwing populism. From scrutinising Reform councillors to demanding the UK Govt leave X - get involved: guyshrubsole.substack.com/p/ten-things...

A delightful Long-winged Conehead cricket at East Harling - found @hburningham.bsky.social. An attractive species which has spread in Norfolk over the past quarter- century, since David Richmond @norfolknats.bsky.social mapped just one record.

A day of 'ghostpingo' #pond resurrection in the Norfolk Brecklands with @timholtwilson.bsky.social & other wonderful experts. By the end of tomorrow Norfolk will have 2 more of its lost ancient ponds back

It’s time to restore democracy to our broadcast media. We want to hear from ALL parties not the over platforming of one over & over @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @skynewsrss.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social do you not understand how important this is? Sign now petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Essential to functioning ecosystems, insects are declining at alarming rates--even in remote areas. A 20-year study in CO found an average annual decline of 6.6% in insect abundance, amounting to a 72.4% drop over the 20-year period. The steep decline was associated with rising summer temperatures.

Thanks Nick Meade for access & @timholtwilson.bsky.social for arranging it, near Earsham had our furthest downstream swim in River Waveney, abounding in Roach, plus a pool of gorgeous Dace where the river flowed fast, constricted by a grove of Club-rush. #MySwim #Suffolk #Norfolk #rivers #fish 🧵1/8

broadcasters seem determined to bang the drum enough to get Farage over 40% in the polls legitimising their over platforming. Self fulfilling prophecy. They’re also obsessed with framing all as left v right. We’re not USA. Keep signing for fair coverage petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

It's a great when you change the map! 2 resurrected #ghostpingos, just 1 yr old, look like they have been there forever. Working with the brill @timholtwilson.bsky.social & funded by Norfolk Wildlife Trust, BFER & Heritage Lottery we have helped 22 lost ancient Ice Age ponds back to life since 2021

A leggy and rather unappealing hybrid Hypericum bush has found favour with a leaf-cutter bee, Megachile sp.. When dried, the leaves are deliciously aromatic - is this an aesthetic choice by Megachile? I cannot find others which have been favoured. @suffolk-nats1929.bsky.social

Astonished, on popping into ditch in grazing marsh on way to Little Ouse by @rspbengland.bsky.social Lakenheath Fen to find it absolutely carpeted in writhing mass of creatures reminiscent of tiny garden eels; in fact unglamorously named Sludge Worms (Tubifex tubifex). #MySwim #WormWednesday 1/19

PHENOMENAL! River Little Ouse at @rspbengland.bsky.social's Lakenheath Fen continues to AMAZE; out of the blue y'day twas packed with at least 100 vast Bronze aka Common Bream - some half the size of me! Only once seen such a big Bream - 5 weeks ago at the reach just below this. #Rivers #fish 🧵1/14

Rather excited (understatement du jour) to find this in the actinic this morning. Norfolk Snout (Nothris verbascella), thought to be extinct in the UK until last year, when Dave Jones rediscovered it. Now to search for its larval food, Hoary Mullein. #norfolkmoths #teammoth #moths #lepidoptera

Norfolk birder & photographer Steve Gantlett is collating an archive of photos of rare birds in Norfolk. The aim is to ensure that the best possible pictures of each species are preserved for use in future publications - if you think you can contribute then please get in touch with Steve.

A man just knocked on our door & offered to pressure wash our drive to get rid of the weeds. I politely explained that the 'weeds' are wildflowers (inc rare ones) & they liked growing in the cracks between the slabs & that we were very happy for them to do so. He apologised & beat a hasty retreat.
