Majesty, elegance, sophistication, and just a little decrepit character - all punched in the eye by a single blue bin.

Met a bloke in the pub tonight. Right wing af. We disagreed on nearly everthing. But we shared some snacks, talked about colours of 1970s Fords and old Norwich. Parted on good company. In a tiny way, quite important I thought.

I’m absolutely delighted by this, but keen to get our mechanical interventions done first.

This is the sort of ill-informed and sloppy reporting that drives me (and probably other ecologists) mad. Three common pipistrelles were recorded roosting in the building. Low level of use, easy mitigation outlined in the EIA. Will it sink the pool plan? No. Does it give bats a bad rap? Yes.

This is absolutely brilliant. Good science and then proper action. Well done all involved. 👏👏 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Looked at some lovely developing brambley scrub today. Succession is doing the heavy lifting, but mechanical management is adding finesse. Grazing animals say hello from time to time too. Hybrid solutions - complex habitat.

Great so see some finesse on a north Norfolk new build for a change. Including the builders trademark flint arrangement.

The greatest lie ever told, is the cooking time of any and all types of risotto rice. DISCLAIMER: Excludes anything and everything ever said by that Vance prick.

Simple but pretty effective way of stopping flea treatments from entering sensitive waterbodies.

I am discovering that caning a chair seat is very fiddly and makes me swear a lot.

Keep an eye out for Joe (left) on Countryfile tonight. One of Norfolks most ambitious deliverers for nature - wetlands in particular. Always striving for more, bigger, better. We need more Joes. We need more wetlands. #WorldWetlandsDay

‘Well hello there, how was hiberbation’? ‘Pretty boring actually. Have I missed anything good’? ‘Nope’.

Thanks, American friends. Old Bay seasoning is new to me but now enjoying enormously 😋Hang in there.

Cavenham Heath being properly roughed up. Scraping * ploughing * cultivating. Thanks very much said the Curlew, Stone Curlew and Lapwing (plus a bunch a scarce Breckland flora). Bold disturbance so often the key to conservation success.

If you’re going to take farmland out of production to deliver for wildlife, then do it right. I’d rather see good food being grown than this pseudo conservation. Thousands of ha now delivering bugger all and costing millions. Schemes need advisers.

Not my usual cup of tea, but for 3 quid, couldn’t resist. No idea on age, fancy fretwork, Victorian maybe? Minor spruce up all that’s required.

Armed picnic today, so you get an obligatory sausage photo.

Cold, crisp and bright at Overy Staithe. Some work, some gossip, and some sheer joy of being.

Look, I know I get excited about some weird stuff, but let’s be honest, the string whipping on Trev’s mug is a pretty classy touch.

I’d take this floor out for dinner, fall in love, propose, and make little tiles.

It’s been an excellent Friday…talking structure, heterogeneity, dunes, marshes, ditches…. and strategies for making the most of them. Then I watched a Professor capture the plans by drawing them in the dirt. @pauldolman.bsky.social

Maybe they should have popped Azerbaijan back in the hat. Oil and gas are a 'gift of god', says COP29 host.
