An amazing weekend of natural history with a fantastic like minded bunch. So much seen will keep my twitter feed topped up for a while. Kicking off with a his and hers. Evarcha arvuata. Metallic jumper. AndyBloomfield Esmond Brown TurnFear2Fascination 🇬🇧 🇮🇱 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🕷️ BAS Brian Eversham

Another amazing #Spider from the weekend. Thomisus onustus. Heather crab spider. An amazing specimen. AndyBloomfield BAS

Absolutely delighted to have spent a gloriously hot day looking at gorgeous prime arable habitats with such a great bunch of people. Thanks for the opportunity!

The magical place where nature became my true passion. It wasn't part of the nature reserve back then but I am so glad it is now. Suffolk Wildlife Trust North East Reserves

2024... a rather challenging year in many ways so far. Not however it seems for my apple tree! #Hurrah #homegrown

#Spiders are clearly forcing my hand to get back on twitter. Another new 'home' species for me. What I think is a Clubiona species, probably lutescens although I would like it run free in my garden so haven't 🔬 it AndyBloomfield BAS TurnFear2Fascination 🇬🇧 🇮🇱 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🕷️ Esmond Brown

I❤️Harvest. Always have. Golden fields & combines. Where the arable plants #formerlyknownasweeds set seed in the stubbles and margins ready for a bumper crop next year. Lots of Fluellens in the edge of this one and what looked to be a decent crop too. #Farmingwithnature

Been under the scope counting ventral spines and I think this may well be a contender for Scotina gracilpes from the Brecks today. Happy to be corrected though. BAS Cofnod AndyBloomfield TurnFear2Fascination 🇬🇧 🇮🇱 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🕷️

Alopecosa barbipes. One of my favourites. Loving life at Cranwich Heath. Last few days of the summer surveys in Breckland Forest SSSI with Natural England Field Unit 🕷🦗🐸🐌🦇🦉🦊🐍🌿🌳🍄 BAS

Little bit of drive by late season arable plant hunting......1000s of each of these rare and vulnerable plants present and 1000000s of seeds ripening ready to replenish the seed bank next year! #Farmwildlife #Formerlyknownasweeds

Just in case you were in need of a Farm Wildlife hit here it is. A bee ball. 1000s of these fellas all enjoyed some arable reversion.

Just because. #JoyofNature

Excellent 36 hours with NE's finest in #agronomy & #Farmland #Conservation. Many topics covered. Lessons learnt: a) EVERYONE now loves arable plants ❤️(see pic) b) BROCOLLI is far more interesting than you may think. Including the integral FISH!! c)The A17 doesn't get any better

Been searching for years for one of these on my local lunch walk in Norwich. Habitat always looked good but never saw one until today .......BAS AndyBloomfield Eleanor Morrison

Super Saturday #Spider. An absolute beauty, and several of them. Araneus marmoreus var. pyramidatus. The Marbled Orb Weaver. TurnFear2Fascination 🇬🇧 🇮🇱 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🕷️ AndyBloomfield BAS

Why do the best #nature walks always unfold when you have nipped to the shop in unsuitable footwear and need to be quick! 4 hours later...... #Walking #Autumnvibes #NatureTherapy
