A Fox Moth caterpillar wandering about as they’re wont to do.

More mushrooms at Dersingham Bog. Is this the Heath Navel (Lichenomphalia ericatorum) @robyaxley.bsky.social? #Fungi #Mushrooms #lichen

At last, the Daily Hornet has landed, though very briefly.

It’s a while since we’ve seen a 2-spot Ladybird. This one was found on Monday between the boards of a picnic table.

One of three Common Carders on the sunny back wall of the house a couple of days ago.

Loads of Walls out and about today at Holme Dunes. Probably the most we’ve seen in one day this year.

Has the Box since been devoured by the moth caterpillars?

The sun is gently rising. A Robin sings a cheery song. Tawny Owls are hooting their hoots.

For longer than I remember, we’ve been searching gorse and its relatives without any luck for Gorse Shieldbugs. How odd it was to spot our first one today on an old grass stem at Dersingham Bog with no obvious Gorse in sight.

On the tip of a feather, a pair of Myrmus miriformis bugs.

An interesting bit of cloud.

06:51. Sunrises are certainly getting later.

This was a day-maker. On a trip to Castle Acre, a Little Owl. Unfortunate that it was not very close and we only had the macro lens, but as far as I’m aware, it’s the first we’ve ever seen. 🦉

Butterflies from our walk today. Wall, Small White and a faded Small Copper. Also flying by, Brimstone, Speckled Wood and Large white.

Another for the @savebutterflies.bsky.social Garden Butterfly Survey. A Large White on a pleasantly warm afternoon.

Rhyparochromus vulgaris. I’ve seen a few of these in the garden over the last few days. They’re not inclined to keep still, so making it tricky to get a decent pic.
