I've seen all of these species before, but today was the first time I saw all them in a single day; what I am calling 'completing the Breckland speedrun'.
Breckland Speedwell, Fingered Speedwell and Spring Speedwell; Veronica praecox, triphyllos, and verna.

Breckland Council says it made a profit from selling Barnham Broom golf course. But it didn’t. It made a £2.7m loss. So why the misrepresentation? Here’s what our investigation uncovered and why it matters: ⤵️

I love a local twitch. Found this morning, but waited till I’d cooked lunch for Mrs. Prof. 😇
A tricky individual, as it was not hanging out with Stonechats, on a Breckland heath. Only my 3rd local Dartford Warbler.
Unfortunately these are always suppressed for togger related reasons.

Breckland Council claimed a £6.9m sale of Barnham Broom golf course was a win.
Our investigation uncovered the truth: they lost £2.7 million – and hid the real figures from the public.
