Blog

I blog about nature in the Norfolk countryside and about my wildlife garden. My blog blends digital photos with an analogue nature journal.

Nature journalling blends nature observation and citizen science with a written diariy or art journal to build a deeper connection with nature and cultivate curiosity, creativity and flow.

Goldcrest in the Winter Cherry

Plenty of flowers but everything is parched and is growing very low in response to the long dry spell / drought. In a first for garden I spotted a Goldcrest foraging amongst the leaves in the Winter Cherry from the sunroom window! Very chufted as it was good sighting and I've only seen them a few times in my life! They are resident and often hang out with Blue tits. Numbers increase in winter due to an influx of Scandinavian migrants.
