Nice to get the two White Storks that have been visiting the Norfolk coast recently from my garden in Horsey just now 🙂

The cover of a guide called Psyllids of Norfolk, with a central picture of Psylla alni, a green psyllid, on a green leaf. The NNNS logo is in the top right corner.

I have updated the @norfolknats.bsky.social species guide to Norfolk Psyllids, which is available to download from the NNNS website here: norfolknaturalists.org.uk/wp/wp-conten... It now covers 60 species (about 3/5 of the British list) so is hopefully of use even for those outside of Norfolk.

Nice addition to my house list in Horsey just now, the lovely Black-winged Kite which has been knocking around east Norfolk for the past couple of weeks!

Jo, I tell a lie, the Nicotiana sylvestris is still going strong about 100 metres west of the Coop in Acle, look for the For Sale sign @jo-the-botanist.bsky.social

Not sure but doubt it, although they're still in flower in gardens at the moment.

I recorded this as a pavement weed in Acle in early July but haven't got round to adding it to iRecord yet. Lovely plant.

Any moth-ers , any thoughts on this one from east Norfolk last night, rather worn and not very obliging. Thanks @mothiduk.bsky.social

Thanks Steve, yes I did think it must be a Scarce Bordered Straw, but I haven't seen one looking quite like that before.

Breckland Landscape Recovery getting it just right. Ambitious, but achievable. Complex enough to hit objectives for nature, but straightforward enough to actually be delivered. Enthusiastic, but realistic leadership. It’s conservation Baby Bear’s porridge. Well done them 👏👏

Or could the first one be Phyllonorycter nicellii, possibly?

@mothiduk.bsky.social Grateful for your thoughts on these three: Phyllonorycter klemannella? Phyllonorycter platani? and not sure on the third. All in Norwich today. Thanks.

Labour’s great nature sellout is the worst attack on England’s ecosystems I’ve seen in my lifetime | George Monbiot The horrifying planning bill, which rips up environmental protections, was drafted with CEOs in mind. We know because Keir Starmer told us, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

'Growth at any cost' is going to be very expensive.

I wouldn't like to say on this one. Can I suggest you post it on to the Hoverfly Recording Scheme Facebook page who will be able to assist.

Pleased to see the scarce dune loving spider Marpissa nivoyi at Horsey dunes yesterday. Long known from the North Norfolk coast but just a single record from the East Norfolk dunes until now.

A nice fresh Yellow Horned in my moth trap this morning. Widespread in woodland but scarce in coastal east Norfolk, only my second record in 11 years at Horsey.

Hi Barry, still on my to do list I'm afraid, but I haven't forgotten about it!

Should the organised criminality of shot raptors, destroyed peat reserves and flooded homes continue? I think not, please sign.
