A walk in the Waveney Valley, 22 December 2024

Our Sunday walk this week was a local one along a section of the Angles Way near Brockdish in the Waveney Valley. In my opinion the Waveney Valley is every bit as beautiful as the much-lauded Dedham Vale but thankfully much less well known!

Highlights of the walk from a natural history angle were mainly fungi with some late showings from Small Stagshorn, Field Blewit, Jelly Rot, Common Stinkhorn, Alder Bracket and Jelly Ear. 

Some Small Teasel was still identifiable near Syleham but birds were restricted to just a single Fieldfare, Sparrowhawk, Green Woodpecker, Common Buzzard and Song Thrush.
