January has been a busy month but not for reasons relevant to this blog! The weather has also been pretty grim and I struggle with motivation at this time of year. Nevertheless ‘naturing’ never really stops so the following is a quick summary of a few local bits from January.
8 January - I was surprised to find a Ruddy Shelduck from the car as we drove along the B1143 near Tibenham. Annoyingly it had gone 30 minutes later when I returned with my camera!
11 January - 2 Tawny Owls were by the road close to Pulham Primary School at about 2am. One perched on the kerb.
14 January - after much walking and searching I eventually had a single Shorelark fly over me on Kessingland North Beach
16 January - fungi are thin on the ground but a clump of Field Blewits were found at Frenze near Diss while out walking.
17 January - another ‘walking find’ was a Powdered Ruffle Lichen at Mulbarton - a new species for me
31 January - I made my annual visit to Henstead to see Greater Snowdrop and Green Snowdrop beside their common cousins. Later on c55 Snow Buntiungs and Grassland Puffball were on Kessingland North Beach.
