I was sure that bright sunshine on Gorse flowers in the #Suffolk #Brecks would bring out the inverts but could only find this tiny Thrips! #Thrips #Thysanoptera #WildWebsWednesday

No flowers but rosettes of Musk Thistles, Carduus nutans, seem to prefer growing between vehicle tracks across Icklingham Plains #Suffolk #Brecks! Tracks maybe only used occasionally to feed sheep. They were waiting.

These #fungi were growing around patches of weathered sheep droppings on grassland with distant pines. Thought they might be Fragrant Funnel, Clitocybe fragrans, or something similar as they did smell of aniseed. Icklingham Plains #Suffolk #Brecks #FungiFriday

A day out in the Brecks, cycling, chilling barefoot walking, just what I needed. Slowly my energy is returning after months of chronic fatigue. The brecks looks amazing in Autumn #cyclingformentalhealth #gravelbiking #brecks

Neighbours in a rough sandy patch of a #Suffolk #Brecks field, Stinging & Small Nettle, Urtica dioica & urens. Latter much more stingy than the former! 🤕

Unmissable colour on an exposed tree stump on Icklingham Plains in the #Suffolk #Brecks. Could it be Golden Dust #Lichen, Chrysothrix candelaris, (but that likes shade) or Orange Rock Hair, Trentepohlia aurea, (but it's not on rock). 🤔
Any ideas please Rob?

November!

As the daylight hours per day become fewer it's easy to see the sunrise over Cherry Hinton 🍒🏘️ #Cambridge and to see it set over the #Suffolk #Brecks!

Black & Green Nightshades (again 🙄). OK there are flowers and fruits but look at the lower stems. Black is shiny and markedly ridged compared to Green which is stickily hairy and smoother. Where else but the #Suffolk #Brecks at Icklingham. #WildflowerHour

This afternoon as I was passing a field where Green Nightshade grows in numbers I took a look. Several of the smaller plants which looked 'stressed' had mauve petals particularly on the undersides. This was #Suffolk #Brecks near Icklingham.

Lichen in a crevice of a Scots Pine trunk. Could it be Lepraria finkii or something similar? 🤔
In the #Suffolk #Brecks today. #Lichen

Went looking for waxcap fungi in the #Suffolk #Brecks today where I found them a year ago but none this year. 😐

A fly (Helina sp.) maybe attracted to Bovine Bolete by the sticky skin on the cap. Icklingham in the #Suffolk #Brecks

I wish I could resist the temptation to handle Small Nettle, Urtica urens, to get a view of the very short panicles of flowers, it can be painful. A sandy field in the #Suffolk #Brecks. #WildflowerHour

Ivy Bee in sunshine where else but on ivy, in the company of a ladybird, and visiting a shady sandy bank. Almost certainly not the same bee! 😉

Sickle Medick, Sand Lucerne & Lucerne in #Suffolk #Brecks
showing flower colour & pod curliness 😵 Medicago sativa subsp. falcata, nothosubsp. varia, & subsp. sativa for #WildflowerHour #SeedHeads just like the books say. (But of course I leave out ones that don't fit what the books say. 😉)

First stage of the onion #harvest in the #Suffolk #Brecks is to raise the onions and then leave them piled in rows to dry. Meanwhile Small & Green Nightshades still survive in a corner.
#Solanum triflorum & nitidibaccatum. Less fortunate plants further out are already adding to the seed bank! 😉

A close up photo of the underwing of a blue butterfly feeding on a dull purple flowerhead to which a strand of spider web is attached from above.
Common Blue #butterfly on what is probably Sand Lucerne in the #Suffolk #Brecks today managing to avoid the strands of spider web all around the flower head.

I've often wondered how a tiny plant like Small Nightshade can survive in a dry sandy field in the #Suffolk #Brecks. Post-harvest harrowing turned up this plant roots and all. Scale 8cm so roots at least 24cm! Plus of course the field was irrigated.

Tried so hard today to get the fruits of Small Nightshade and Henbane together in the same frame that I didn't notice the Green Nightshade flowers there too! 🙄

From onion fields of #Suffolk #Brecks today's Nightshades! Green & Black near together, regrowing well post harvesting. In a nearby field awaiting harvest where I've not seen it before Small-flowered. #Solanum nitidibaccatum, nigrum & triflorum. Benefitting from irrigation no doubt. #WildflowerHour
