From the watery ditches of Norfolk, blue water speedwell and if ID is correct, lesser water parsnip. Not sure if they are classed as totally #AquaticPlants or more riparian but in this occasion they both had there roots and I had a slightly damp foot from being firmly in the water #wildflowerhour

Today is my birthday & I received two lovely books from my husband ordered from NHBS. We don’t do wrapping paper & the parcel was handed to me unopened I’m not sure if the beetle came free with the books or it was just a coincidence after I opened the box I suddenly found the critter crawling on me

A meander along the River Waveney this week and a peek into the watery ditches that cross cross the marshes. Lots to see including water plantain, branched bur reed, marsh woundwort, common frogbit, valerian and flowering rush #WildFlowerHour

Technically I think this is classed as a scrambling shrub rather than a true climbing plant due to thorns not tendrils to help it head upwards. That aside the bramble flowers are stunning in my local hedgerows at the moment. I’m amazed to learn that there’s 350+ named micro species #WildFlowerHour

Okay, I really didn’t have willow catkins on my list of things to see in nature on a walk around my neighbourhood on the 3rd of July This isn’t normal, is it?

No show on the swallowtails at Wheatfen on Sunday, but always pleased to see the Silver-washed fritillary butterfly’s in the woodland #WildWebsWednesday @norfolkbutterflies.bsky.social

I couldn’t vote for both large and small Skippers in Britains Favourite Butterfly and opted for the latter, but for a small brown butterfly, I think both being equally wonderful #WildWebsWednesday #Butterflies @savebutterflies.bsky.social
