6th October 2025 and we’re into fungi season. But despite odd days of rain we’ve been dry this autumn (so far) and fungi do like it wet. So where to go? Whitlingham Country Park. Because if the fungi prove absent at least we’ll have birds. Please join us; we’re going a different way…

The water-meadow is flooded. That gives me hope of fungi! 🔼🔽 But there’s still enough dry grass for the cows to enjoy

We turn off the lane that leads to the park to investigate Trowse Woods, which is now officially part of the park, although at a small distance. Previous years we’ve found plentiful fungi here. But all we find is very dry ground 🔼🔽⏬ Yet the sun filtering through the canopy is worth the detour and the several steep hills – this is a former gravel/aggregates quarry

The Old Hall warrants its own road over the Norwich Southern Bypass. I believe there’s some new houses here too 🔼🔽

We’ve never been this way before. How do we arrive at the Park? Ah, these gates 🔼🔽 And here we get this brilliant view of Norwich with its City Hall and the Castle. What a wonderful surprise

We arrive at Whitlingham Broad, delighted to see the gathering of swans and geese 🔼🔽⏬

I hope you enjoyed.
Ah, you ask where’s the autumnal colour? We are finding some. See Tuesday Treats. And while we didn’t find a glut of fungi, we did find some: See Friday Fungi

I was stunned. I wasn’t expecting it. I’m aware how close to the city we were but I didn’t realise… well, but lo, there it was. Beautiful view. Well worth the convoluted route

Thank you. I visit Whittlingham at least twice a year, and I try to vary the narrative and accompanying photos for the blog.
