Starting in Cringleford Belinda and I walked the Yare path to the UEA where we did a lap of the broad before re-tracing our steps. With a cheeky lunch in the Sainsbury Centre cafe en-route!
On a day that has seen big numbers on the coast a Pied Flycatcher beside UEA Broad on the campus side was a good inland find and a Norwich tick for me. Insects were also good with several Willow Emeralds, Brown Hawker, Migrant Hawker, Ruddy Darter and Common Darter the odonata recorded. Other insects included Meadow Waspfly, Chrysotoxum festivum and a pair of Brassy Willow Beetles whilst a Striped Grasshopper was photographed on our front lawn in Pulham before we left. Most wildflowers are withered and brown but it was good to see the trio of Water-lillies (Fringed, White and Hybrid) still looking good on the Broad with Arrowhead on the river. A nice fresh Chicken of the Woods fungus was also spotted along the edge of the Broad.
