21st October 2025 starts with an overcast sky but the forecast suggests later will be brighter. So we hop a bus to Norwich, and hop another out. We’re off to Broadland Country Park, which is a broadleaf and pine woodland where last year we had the best ever photos of fungi. Fingers crossed this year will equal it! Let’s go…
21st October 2025
This is only our third visit to this woodland, and as yet we’re not familiar with the criss-crossing paths. So caution has us staying close to the edge. Benefit, the light is better here! 🔼🔽

This is the broadleaf woodland, mostly chestnuts. A former estate of a country house, these trees were planted with income in mind 🔼🔽

A dip in the land acts as natural drainage. This might look contained but my feet soon discover the entire area is swampy! 🔼

I’ve a suspicion this path once connected two villages, an ancient Right Of Way. The oldest trees are found here 🔼

My kinetic memory kicks in. We take a right turn which will eventually take us to the main entrance – and past the beech trees and into the pine forest 🔼🔽

Sun! Yay, the forecast was right 🔼 🔽

I’m happy to say we’re on the right path. Somewhere here is a seat, the only one I’ve seen in this woodland. We’ll stop for a snack, to keep us going until we get back to Norwich and buy something else 🔼🔽

I’m right, and I take this photo from the seat while picking at fruit 🔽

As we near the main entrance, the woodland gives way to meadows. Delighted to see an invasion of heather! 🔼🔽 But what’s happened to the sun? Oh well, we got our photos; I’m bringing 500 photos home with me

That’s it for now
Check out this week’s Tuesday Treat which is a medley of fungi, leaves and flowers
The bulk of the fungi photos will post on Friday
Hope you enjoyed

Colour theory. Heathland being peat, peat being black, black pigment containing much blue. Add in the reddish orange of autumnal bracken and leaves. Bingo! Purple.
