Cunt.

A Clouded Yellow day - multiple individuals across four different parts of the Wild Ken Hill rewilding area today. Fab.

Wonderful end to the day - standing on a bridge at Sculthorpe Mill, looking down on a Water Vole in the Wensum, when an electric blue Kingfisher shot just 12 inches under my feet. Magic.

About to film a nest - any guesses?

In the area, so decided to spend a couple of hours wandering in Great Yarmouth. Genuinely one of the most depressing places I’ve ever been. Very sad to see.

Male Common Carder Bee clinging on to a windswept self-sown sunflower in the garden today. Amazing to think that in a few weeks’ time, male bees and queens of this species will all be dead, leaving only a few newly-matured queens who are able to overwinter and begin the cycle all over again.

Houghton Hall - home of the first UK Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole. Doubt that the ‘patriot’ knows that.

In the garden, currently looking at 3 Hummingbird Hawk-moths and a Red Kite. If only 16 year old me knew this was coming…..

First ever garden Common Redpoll today - that has cheered me up!

I don’t trust him 😂

Making new friends in the house.

Ship Ahoy!! Today’s Times.

Cheeky little aurora from the garden this morning. #norfolk

Laden hedgerows and a spattering of natural pools - seeing the rewilding team at @wildkenhill.bsky.social doing their thing is just wonderful.

Those upholders of law and order - the Great British patriots, stirred up by Captain Brown Teeth and co., making their ancestors (almost all immigrants) proud. Racists enjoying a Renaissance across the country right now, supported by multi-millionaire grifters.

The perfect gift for #NCFC, football and beer lovers. All profits to charitable causes. ebay.us/m/WYg8bV

A sad discovery. www.instagram.com/p/DNGMKzBshR...

Sitting in the garden - Barn Owl directly overhead then quartering the meadow next door, and an early evening bat frenzy around the trees. Heaven.

It has been an ARSE keeping this secret over the last few months - but the news is out there now, and it’s AWESOME. www.instagram.com/reel/DMcq9HJ...

Great to see this hirundine tower in Oxborough on a visit to Bedingfeld Arms yesterday. 👏👏👏

‘Working’.

Sitting in the garden (Norfolk, UK) last evening and watched / heard this fall from the sky. Any ideas #meteorite fans?

Messy eater. Common Carder Bee on Hollyhock.

Great stuff - a fabulous review of The Ship ! www.lynnnews.co.uk/news/mouthwa...

Outrageous numbers of Small White along the Norfolk coast today, assuming there must’ve been a huge influx from the continent.

Now is the winter of my discontent Made glorious summer by this sun at Wild Ken Hill. Forester Moth, Purple Hairstreak, Turtle Dove the highlights. And grasshoppers galore, including 50 Large Marsh Grasshopper nymphs (instars 4&5) introduced, with help from @awprco.bsky.social

Leaf cutter bees making my hollyhocks ever purdier.

Took living room blinds down to paint - solitary bees and wasps moved straight in the four screw holes. Painting will recommence in 2026.

Wishing a very Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales. A champion of this corner of the Kingdom.

Fishermen complaining about the ‘octopus boom’ in UK waters, blissfully unaware that removing octopus frys’ predators is one of the biggest causes.

In the garden - warm! Watching bats and listening to three different owl species and a Nightjar calling. Lovely.

so calm so logical so accurate #FreeGreta #GretaFree

“Gonna be some sweet sounds, Comin’ down on the night shift. I bet you’re singin’ proud. Oh, I bet you’ll pull a crowd.”

Et tu, Elon.

Another Green Hairstreak to brighten up a rainy day. One of the most spectacular UK butterflies.

Answers on a postcard….. 📍 Norfolk, UK.

Bank Holiday Weekend chills.

Do you know who laid this beautiful (large) egg on a school playing field? We do, because she fiercely protecting it!

Spring soup - chicken, asparagus, carrot, onion, celery, chilli, parsley.

It’s cricket season!

Sunday morning call.

Today’s natural treasure - a White-clawed Crayfish moult.

Watching a cuckoo calling from atop a hawthorn bush, whilst said cuckoo was being mobbed by a pair of Meadow Pipits …..heaven.

20 years ago, whilst refurbishing a pub we had just taken on here in Norfolk, we found this #VEDay Daily Mail, safely hidden for posterity under a floorboard. A slice of history; featuring an opinion piece by Noel Coward, the return of ‘the weather’, vintage VE Day adverts, and the football pools!

Been watching #Conclave2025 for hours - has anyone got the number to vote? Or is there an app?

Two years ago today, me and some mates went to something.

This young blackbird was in the middle of the road, so stopped the car and put hazard lights on - despite this TWO cars came the other way and drove straight over it (thankfully it missed the wheels). Picked it up and returned it to the hedge where its frantic mother was calling. Good news.

Prick.

The UK’s only green butterfly - and they have freshly emerged over the past two days - the showstopping Green Hairstreak. What a lil’ stunner.
