Tuesday Treat: Our Dunes Community

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

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.
