Crazy amounts of ivy bees in Norwich at the moment. This whole bank (and its opposite bank) at the entrance to Earlham Cemetery was full of their mines.

Noticed a pile of moss in the back garden, so went to investigate, only to find a pile of poop hidden underneath. What type of animal would have done this? @Mammal_Society @WildlifeTrusts

Are @GWRHelp Intercity Express Trains designed with the intention of causing as much discomfort to passengers as physically possible? It would genuinely be more comfortable to rip out all the seats and make people sit on the floor!

Hung my towel out to dry overnight after having a dip in the sea after work. It's now been bucketing it down in Norwich for two hours. Might have made a mistake there! Garden will be happy though ๐ŸŒง๏ธ

The swift chicks don't have long left in the nest now. Lots of wing stretching going on.

The gulls are out in numbers. Must be flying any day!

Fashionably late to yesterday's national meadows day. After three weeks away we came back to find our front lawn had turned into a meadow. Had no idea we had Queen Anne's lace or knapweed (not flowering yet) in there. So many insects, including hundreds of grasshoppers ๐Ÿฆ—

Back of the camera shot of the world's greatest ever photo of a cuckoo! ๐Ÿ˜… (bottom left) Probably the first (and last) time I've ever seen one before I've heard one. Saw my first swallows of the year as well. Norfolk Broads.

Lovely new wildlife pond replacing the old leaky one in Heigham Park @NorwichCC

I can see the bloody Aurora Borealis right now, in Norwich, in the cloud and rain! Is that even possible? @aurorawatchuk @VirtualAstro
