A Hawthorn sunset

The farmed environment starting to show a nice bit of colour It wasn’t always like this At one point in the recent past it was either deep green or yellow in early May

A little bit of everything-food, farming, nature, access, landscape It’s amazing what’s achievable if we really want it

My first orchid of the season, giving a sense of hope in the realisation that the natural world still has a wonderful ability to show us so much

“ well son when I was your age we used to call this nature friendly farming. A wonderful blend of nature thriving alongside healthy nutritious food that was a benefit for all”

Coastal textures shingle, sea, sand and sky Enjoy it, I did

I know it’s been a while wildflowerhour and sorry no #orchid but I did stumble across this rather magnificent patch of grass vetchling accompanied by meadow buttercup out on the marsh this afternoon

An industrial farmed landscape in Norfolk in early June Amazing what you can achieve with application, creativity and a bit of help from the natural world

Lifetime goals Rabbit poo nail fungus found on horse droppings on a sand dune in Norfolk Only one of four sites in the UK Thanks AndyBloomfield for the tip off

Nice start to the weekend

God, I love June!

Nature putting on an impressive display this morning

Food, farming and nature! What’s not to like!!

Fledged spoonbills I love it when a plan comes together!

When wetland works, they work Wonderfully!

Great to see the North Norfolk Chalk Hill blues back on the wing two days earlier than my earliest recorded record.

Gatekeeper, fresh as a daisy

When you think your the first and then you realise there have always been others before you

Silage fields, hay meadows, grazing fields, wet grassland, modern day hybrids and then there is chalk grassland! Unbeatable, but I might be biased!!

Ditches, dykes, drains Our control of the natural environment In some cases can have phenomenal benefits
