I found this birding book along the side of the road on the Tamiami trail in the Everglades on 8/25/25. It is so well loved with sightings going back decades. If you're a birder (I am not) please spread the word and hep me find the owner so they can be reunited

Ok #waitrose you win. You’ve been flashing your recipe for Dorset Apple Cake at me every time I pick my phone up, so to keep you quiet & me occupied in the rain, given it a go. And the verdict? Absolutely blooming gorgeous 🥳
So in fact win win to me😂🏅

Came home to this sat at the end of our drive this afternoon!!
Has now been rescued by the appropriate folk & put somewhere safe

Been to a talk about this fantastic charity today. East Coast Truckers (100) take disabled children to Yarmouth on Aug bank holiday. My friend Chris has volunteered there for 30 odd yrs. Made me quite emotional & tearful to think there are decent folk still in this bleak world bringing comfort & joy

A new moth for our garden in South Norwich today. Lilac Beauty, initially I thought there was something wrong with it as its wings seemed sort of crumpled, then I saw most on Norfolk Moths looked the same. It wasn’t having a photo shoot & was soon off👋🏻

Excellent presentation by Ben @benlewisuk.bsky.social to our village garden club tonight
Thank Ben👍

The Cellar House in Eaton does a damn fine £12 on Tuesdays deal. Today my friends & I had Sea Trout, New potatoes & Samphire. Superb 🌟

You’re dipping your toes into the dark side!! Good luck👍

A second evening at Bergh Apton Hall entertained by “Lutestring” & their music dedicated to Moths. We’d set our moth traps up but with the huge moon brought along a few we’d caught the night before, true Blue Peter style. A think we may have converted a few folk to join The Dark Side!!

A great evening of moths & music last night in Bergh Apton

Great, lucky you, we haven’t been in the autumn, such a lovely island, great for moth-ing too

A great read, thank you

Time to stock up for autumn casseroles 🥘🍲
Looks like 💨 & ☔️ on the way in South Norwich

Join us for International Bat Night, this Saturday (30th August) at 7:30pm, Bullock Park, Mill Road, Shipdham.
A talk about bats, children’s activities, then a guided walk around the local area to see if we can spot our batty neighbours!

U3A Travel Club today, a “Birders Special” expedition voyage from New Zealand to Tokyo, visiting islands rarely ventured to by tourists. One of The Solomon Islands hadn’t seen a tourist for 9 years, just amazing history & scenery. A real wow factor

😂
The one & only football match I’ve ever been to, Nov 1967. Blinking perishing at Blundell Park & nothing between that & the North Sea, AND it was the era of hot pants!!!

My second Four-spotted footman of the year in south Norwich🥳

A new plant for me this morning whilst wandering around the UEA
Common Toadflax. Simply gorgeous

Something I learnt today - 3 Orange Swift, I had no idea of the size difference between male & female
