No Glossy Ibis at Oby on an unsurprisingly quiet WeBS count this morning. 100+ Swallows and a single House Martin passing through. Seeing Albion moored up was the highlight

"Bastard Cabbage" is something I often think when I come across a yellow crucifer without fruits. In this case it had fruits thankfully, and was indeed Bastard Cabbage, Rapistrum rugosum. RSPB Berney Marshes #wildflowerhour

Brackish grassland at Berney Marshes also has Sea Barley, Strawberry Clover (several punnets worth), saltmarsh rush and slender bird's-foot trefoil. #wildflowerhour

Some good quality brackish grassland, showing the benefit of cattle grazing, behind the floodwall at RSPB Berney Marshes-Breydon Water.
Slender Hare's-ear the most notable species #wildflowerhour

The largest single patch of Marsh Mallow - Althaea officinalis - that I know of in the Broads is at RSPB Berney Marshes. Only a few plants still flowering yesterday but did allow me to collect some seed.

Looking forward to seeing this exhibition in Cromer. I was that keen that we went along in August 2024 before realising we were a year too early!
There will be only three more opportunities to see the Outsiders touring exhibition. It will be at Cromer Artspace in Norfolk for two weeks from 29 August, then at the Courtyard in Hereford (both pin-ups). Final display (full framed exhibition) will be at Street Level Photoworks in Glasgow.

Good flight views of what I've assumed is a female Clouded Yellow f. helice rather than one of the rare species. Along Breydon North wall this morning. Only managed this poor shot of underwings @norfolkbutterflies.bsky.social

I didn't manage to see one, but at least 4 Great Green Bush-crickets calling around Stubb Mill, Hickling yesterday. Have been expanding their range through Norfolk in recent years.

Ray's knotgrass - Polygonum oxyspermum subsp. raii - on Gorleston beach last week. Only other VC25 E Suffolk records are from Landguard/Felixstowe although it has been recorded on nearby Great Yarmouth beach (VC27 E Norfolk) in 2024 and 2025.

The Outsiders touring exhibition on homelessness and substandard housing is now open at @stalbansmuseums.bsky.social. Please spread the word and visit if you can. St Albans is only 25 minutes from St Pancras and this is the only opportunity to see it in the South of England.

Drake Goosander just flew up the River Yare at Thorpe Marshes, then took a left into Whitlingham.
Photo for location context - bird was too quick for me!
