4th October 2024 we walked from Great Yarmouth to Caister-on-Sea. It’s not a long walk, but it’s one I enjoy for the chance to see what’s growing on the dunes. Most folks would answer, Marram Grass, but there’s much more than that. Enjoy
Sea Holly looking very festive in the sun’s early light
Yellow petals look like a runaway dahlia but no, it’s an evening primrose, but still it’s a runaway. Below is the native flora, sheepsbit
Sedum acre, which translates as biting stonecrop.
And a few sand-loving fungi
Our shore isn’t massive for shells, so I was delighted to see this. Below is restharrow, a member of the pea family
And two pics of fauna: Above is a caterpillar of the fox moth; the dunes fair crept with them that day. While below, I think this is a stonechat but I’m happy to be corrected
And that’s all for this week, folks.












I love your adventures into nature. Thanks for sharing them with this socked in for winter kinda girl!

Always happy to share. For while I enjoy the walks, and the photography, if the photos are then to moulder away in a forgotten folder that would be such a waste

I originally read sheepshit instead of sheepsbit! Haha.
Lovely collection to remind us winter is not eternal π

These photos were in October, before winter’s killing touch. Yet I could walk those dunes today and find just as much of interest…though whether the light would be good enough for the photos, different matter. It’s not been a very bright winter so far

Light. Oh that light. How we depend on your generosity!

We’ve had only a few blue-sky days here, too.

I’m walking the camera tomorrow, but it’s going to be another dull day. No good for close-ups in woodland!
