Picturesque fallow deer at Broadland Country Park in Norfolk. Great to hear from Dave Weaver and Jules Kennely on how the heathland, mire and woodlands are being managed. Fantastic to see a Council investing in nature and public access to the countryside.

@NENorfolkSufflk @AstleyEstate This is great to see. I’ve just moved to Swanton Novers and work as an ecologist. If there are any opportunities to help with the woods for surveys or practical work I would love to help!

🥂 Last month we celebrated 50 years with @AstleyEstate for Swanton Novers NNR! This partnership has allowed 80 ha ancient oak #woodland to be managed just for #wildlife The woods are home to 7🦇 species, 350+🌱& 500+moths We hope to continue our #Partnership for many years!

Trailing St John’s Wort and changing forget me not on a survey today in Norfolk

Bee orchid and common broomrape at Bowthorpe Marsh, Norwich for #wildflowerhour

Came across this ditch on a survey in some heathland, seems to have some white crusty stuff on all the silted vegetation in the water, does anyone know what might have caused this?

Mad as a pond of frogs! Heigham Park, Norwich

Little trip to Felbrigg at the weekend yielded some serious contenders for #thicktrunktuesday

Come work with Lanpro! We have some great assistant/consultant ecologist roles going in Norwich and Cambridge. A really multi-disciplinary environment to gain experience with. Check out the opportunities here: lanpro.jobsoid.com/j/69931/assist…

Some nice fungi finds today at Whitlingham Woods with Jeremy and @VannaBartlett1. Fenugreek stalkball, conifer conecap, contorted pipe club and lilac fibrecap.

White saddle under oak on my tree survey today

Cozy spot for this toad

Some nice finds from yesterday’s fungi foray including upright coral (possibly), dead moll’s fingers and round leaved fluellin

Well this is insane!

One day late so I hope it counts! Marsh gentian at Buxton Heath, Norfolk #GentianFamily #wildflowerhour

My first #thicktrunktuesday with my new tree finding companion! He doesn’t look as keen on trees as me…yet.
