Here is an Alder rootscape, a sprig of fresh growth of Fool's Watercress (Helosciadium nodiflorum) the dominant macrophyte in Old Carr Stream, & up by the spring, a tuft of Frogspawn Algae (Batrachospermaceae).

By 4 pm the Sun was slipping down behind Shingham #BronzeAge #RoundBarrow, with its fringe of Dark Mullein and Wild Carrot (Daucus carota), as Roe Deer looked on.

Near The Great Barn, Shingham Farm, Hedgerow Cranesbill (Geranium pyrenaicum) being fed on by which caterpillar?
Good crop of Shaggy Inkcaps undaunted by being on the edge of a field of fodder radish.

A tower of sickly scented Ivy seething with excited insects including a large pale day flying moth.
Eyelash Fungus (Scutellinia umbrarum) in a stubble field, a few feet from where a Hare leapt up in front of me...

So happy to see winter flocks of Lapwings again - enjoying an old potato field. The Fieldfares are here as well.
(Footpaths round here often seem to have disappeared under the plough...even when signs still up.)

Linnets & Yellowhammers trilling full of the joys of a sunny autumn afternoon in a #Breckland stubble field, also beloved of Skylarks...and a falconer.
