I once saw a rare bird swimming across a lake....who writes these crap headlines ? Why do the media insist on dumbing down nature related items both in the press on on TV ?

A Long-eared Owl was the sighting of the day but a lack of migrants at Overy drove me to looking at horse crap where some nail fungus, probable snowy inkcap and a Thanatus stratus were found

First Breckland Leatherbug to reach north Norfolk coast at Overy. Once restricted to Brecks and then thought to be extinct, now moving across the county it seems @arableplants @BritishBugs

Another great nesting season for the Holkham Spoonbills, 41 pairs averaging 2 juveniles per pair. It's now the 15th year of nesting, and in that time some 748 juveniles have fledged. Been a privilege and a joy to have monitored them there since they began prospecting in 2004 !
