@andymus1 Quite a bit along the sea defences and coastal path in the Eccles and Walcott area, so not just on salt marsh.

@DaveBriceFlies I'm sure you're right Dave but I'm away from home so can't double check. Enjoy the book 🙂

[Tim Hodge @TimHodge7]

@DaveBriceFlies Have you checked against Deraeocoris ruber Dave?

The inglorious 12th tomorrow. Left is a driven grouse moor. A completely devastated landscape. On the right an alternative vision. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🌳

I've set up a Bluesky account with a view to closing my X account in due course due to the role of X in recent events. My Bluesky handle is in my bio, feel free to follow me as you wish.

@SmalePerry @Jo_the_botanist I'm not an expert but the leaves don't look right for Spiraea?

[Tim Hodge @TimHodge7]

This plant has self-sown in my garden in Horsey. The plant apps haven't been helpful but it might be an Astilbe although I'm not sure the leaves are right. Any thoughts on botany twitter? @Jo_the_botanist

[Tim Hodge @TimHodge7]

@Chris_Lansdell @BSBIbotany I saw them a couple of years ago Chris, duly reported to @Jo_the_botanist and on the Norfolk Flora Group website.

@xylota @RyanM_Sussex @andymus1 @ecology_digest The only ones I have seen were swept from saltmarsh on the Wash. Try saltmarsh on the Humber?

[Tim Hodge @TimHodge7]

@DJSmith65 @BarryWright12 @folkestonebirds Lovely Derek. My garden in Horsey is rubbish for clearwings so I'm jealous!

Off to NWT's newest reserve, Sweetbriar Marshes in Norwich, to assist in building up a picture of the biodiversity of the site.

[Tim Hodge @TimHodge7]

I've done very little garden wildlife recording over the past couple of years but recent records of Cetti's Warbler and Small Copper butterfly takes the garden list to 2,762 species.

[Tim Hodge @TimHodge7]

@Norwichbirder @VannaBartlett1 The first Norfolk record I can trace was at New Buckenham Common in May 2022, found by David White. Apologies for the delay in replying.

[Tim Hodge @TimHodge7]

@philespin Started them off in a large pot in my conservatory in mid February then moved the pot outside a few weeks ago. Taste good!

[Tim Hodge @TimHodge7]

First Red Duke of York potatoes of the year, plus a large head of cauliflower from the allotment 🙂

[Tim Hodge @TimHodge7]

As my MP you should/must be hugely concerned about this @duncancbaker
