Black Shuck woz ere! ‘A strange and terrible wunder’. Blythburgh, Suffolk

Barred Warbler at Kessingland, Suffolk today. Good views eventually after much searching and a good soaking! Jane Ferguson

I had an Old Lady on my patio this morning. She seemed to like it!

Here here

Nice views of Wild Boar in the forest near Rouen today. Plus Middle Spotted Woodpecker, Short-toed Treecreeper, Firecrest and Black Redstart. You don’t have to go far to find stuff we don’t see at home!

We have seen Asian Hornet in several places on the Normandy coast today. Ready to invade? Worrying

Some splendid inverts seen in Brittany in the last week included some non-UK species like the bee-fly Villa Hottentotta and the firebug lookalike Melanocoryphus albomaculatus plus Hornet Robberfly and Violet Ground Beetle.

Clustered Bellflower, Burnet Saxifrage, Dwarf Thistle and ‘Rigid’ Eyebright still going strong in the Wiltshire downs today #wildflowerhour

Marvellous views of the Turkestan Shrike on Dunwich Heath in the window of sunshine we had this morning. Always keeping to the sheltered side of bushes as it was blowing a hoolie!

Double earthstar day - Dwarf and Tiny in Holkham/Burnham Overy Dunes 😀

A couple of great coastal spiders in Holkham Dunes yesterday - the nationally scarce Dune Jumper, Marpissa nivoyi and Sand-bear Spider, Arctosa perita.

Here’s a good game for us poor Norwich fans - how many of these words can we assign to fans, players, Manning, Knapper and Webber?! No.16 is particularly apt! 💚💛 Got to cheer ourselves up somehow! Talk Norwich City Jack Reeve Chris Reeve

Spot on

Four new (for me) fungi found in Suffolk in the last 2 days - Goldleaf Shield, Lion Shield, Sand Mushroom and Hairy Bracket. The last on a rotting window frame!

No trip to the Andes would be complete without a visit to an Andean Cock of the Rock lek! 😍😍

Red-and-White Antpitta - a major target on our SE Peru trip. Absolutely mega views of this difficult bird 😍

Some smashing hummers from phase 1 of my SE Peru trip - Shining Sunbeam, Green-tailed Trainbearer, Green-and-white Hummingbird and White-bellied Woodstar

Our regular Norwegian ringed Black-headed Gull ‘J0191’ is back for another winter at Diss Mere, South Norfolk

Leymebamba Antpitta from the Manu Road at Wayqecha in SE Peru. Encounters with these little beauties was a magical moment.

The stunning and rare Butterfly Coquette seen at Manu Biolodge in SE Peru on my recent trip. Even our guide could hardly contain himself with this one!
