A reminder that Norfolk county gall recorder Anne Hickley is leading an NNNS walk looking at plant galls at Thompson Common tomorrow (Sunday 25th October 2025). Free, all welcome. For meeting details see norfolknaturalists.org.uk/wp/events-pa...

Two oak galls, made up of pale green twisted rods emendation from a central base. Darker green Oak leaves are behind them.

Hugh is passionate, delightful and indomitable.

His many books will be on sale and this will be GOOD.

While preparing a talk, I just stumbled across this clip of nightingale, cuckoo, turtle dove, robin and chiffchaff singing in north Norfolk last year.

Winter is daunting and conservation is relentless bad news… but for this you keep on fighting.

Not strong on experiential learning those herbivores…

Every day they loudly ask me for breakfast.

And every day I quietly explain to them that they’ve got the wrong guy.

Wild apples are a lottery.

This one was amazing.

More often than not, as my Norfolk great-grandfather used to say, they ‘bring your arse up to your elbow.’

P.S. I just heard a brambling, second on my patch this autumn, and pinkfeet are yapping over, bound for maize.
