This nightly practice sounds like a good one! We were so surprised, both saw it at the same time and rambled on about the causes. A description to @brecklandastro.bsky.social on FB and they suggested probable was indeed a meteor!

I think I saw Paroligolophus agrestis today at Ladybelt Country Park.

I saw a meteorite this evening. Never seen one before. The purest green! I’ll not forget it. That is all. #meteorite #norfolk #astronomy ✨

I found one of those this week near Wymondham, Norfolk. Do they escape the garden wall? I know nothing about them.

There’s quite a few Boletes near me in South Norfolk. Completely ignorant in what to look for/photograph. Any top tips?

Anyone with an interest and a bit of guidance can make interesting finds - if you find Clavaria zollingeri (the purple coral fungus pictured) in Norfolk then please let me know, it’s probably my ‘most wanted’ fungus!
