During a 3 night motorhome trip ‘out west’ we did a long walk at Dersingham Bog on the 21st. The site was a wash of purple heather and also produced a few goodies. I was very surprised to see 2 Goshawks circling over the south end of the bog near the start of our walk before drifting off south. Stonechats were everywhere proving what a good year they seem to have had. Reaching the boggy pond area I found 2 Black Darters at, to my knowledge, the only Norfolk site for the species. The female hung about for a photo or two but the male was off! Also around the bog a single Crossbill flew over calling and Sphagnum Greyling fungus was found, funnily enough in sphagnum moss. That was a new fungi for me with only 7 previous county records.
Later that day as we headed over the border into Lincolnshire we popped in to Tydd Gote where I quickly found 3 Autumn Ladies Tresses plants. There may have been more but I didn’t hang around as I’d jumped a gate to get it that clearly said ‘private keep out’ on it!
