@norfolknats.bsky.social Digging out my new pond today, I unearthed 5 May Bug larvae in less than 2 cubic metres of soil. I’m sure they were Jon Pertwee’s adversary in a 70s Doctor Who!
If anyone fancies a few, short bits of writing, some poems and some pictures, often Norfolk or nature linked, do please have a look at my new blog on jgg500.blogspot.com
What a poet, and what a novelist. Most naturalists would be very happy to have Hardy’s ‘Afterwards’ as their epitaph. He was a man who ‘used to notice such things.’
@norfolkmoths.bsky.social 27/16 but a good crop. Clancy’s Rustic NFG, a beautiful Merveille du Jour, Sallow and Orange Sallow all NFY2 feathered thorns, 3 black rustics and 4 green-brindled crescents added some very nice colour. #teammoth#norfolkmoths#mothing
@norfolkmoths.bsky.social woeful 15/13 last night but some NFYs in form of brown-spot pinion and mallow, one NFG meal moth and, from Sunday, a very late rosy footman.
A good day out. Hornet and at least 18 crossbills in Holkham Pines, 16 cattle egret, Firecrest and Yellow-Browed Warbler calling and, in strong winds, the short-toed lark at Snettisham.
41/18 last night. Haven’t trapped for a week or so, hence autumnal regulars. Feathered thorn, brindled green, vapourer, pink barred sallow all NFY, along with Blair’s Shoulder Knot and beaded chestnuts a plenty.
