Report of a grey big cat with "big pointed ears... bigger than a medium-sized dog", 33 inches long nose to rump, 20 inches high, seen crossing the Whepstead-Rede road (near Bury St Edmunds, #Suffolk.) Seen for 30 seconds from 30-50 ft away at 14.00 on 26/09/26.

Thrilled to come across a secret green passage at Whepstead with not only Bee Orchids (Ophrys apifera) but also Common Twayblades (Neottia ovata)!

Interesting snapshot of life in Whepstead - taken from June 2006 Suffolk Roots - vaccination, gleaning, bankruptcy and more

3 reports of a grey or grey-brown big cat with pointed ears (lynx? Bobcat?) in a week – Little Cornard, 22/09/, Kesgrave 23/09, Whepstead area 26/9 - all seen late morning or early afternoon which is unusual. Long distances between these mean probably more than one of these at large in #Suffolk.

There maybe only one Anglican church dedicated to St Petronilla and it's at Whepstead in #Suffolk. 😮
A good spot to pause when navigating cross-country from the A134 to the A143. 😬
She is depicted in a stained glass window and there's a rubber stamp so you can decorate your postcard! 🤗

Two stellar meals at The White Horse Whepstead yesterday, under new management (Alex and Lisa Rotherham from Bury's Bay Tree Cafe)

1. A SUPERB juicy succulent burger with sauce remoulade and cranberry- red cabbage slaw
2. Vancouver-style crab chowder (Alex is Canadian)

Do not sleep on this pub!

Thanks to the council's Solar for Business scheme and the Decarbonisation Initiative Fund, new solar panels and battery installed at Whepstead Community Centre will help cut energy bills, reduce carbon emissions, and make the building more resilient for the future.

Received a report of a long-bodied black big cat, "small head... body stretched out," seen for 2-3 seconds from 60m away at Whepstead (near Bury St Edmunds) at around 8.20am on 28 03 26.
As "bus went past it dived into the hedge in one bound."

Yes two wet warm years followed by a drier year (might be average by year end) but also very hot often with strong drying breezes. Also rain very patchy, Whepstead Suffolk had heavy rain yesterday with localised flooding, next village nothing. I now have rain, the garden will be thankful!

Tracing ancestry...
In 1066 William invaded England then his Domesday book was created to document population so he can tax.
He granted land to a Ralph Sturgeon Whepstead, with several tributaries.. farms and such, an Abbey.

If Robin Hood is real, he had my ancestor as enemy, with Kind John.

On the margins of the barley sea, Hogweed, and the delicious Pineappleweed (Matricaria discoidea) fragrance underfoot.
Wood Spurge (Euphorbia amygdaloides) along a green lane a little further afield.

Some fine bloodstock doing a Stubbs impression at Plumpton House.
Chalky nearby, by the looks of this Hoary Plantain (Plantago media).
Also Meadown Cranesbill (Geranium pratense) and Goatsbeard (Tragopogon pratensis).

Quite an Ash in Lark Wood.
And a fabulous coven of old park Oaks near Plumpton House, one adorned with a wild rose boa.

Near Whepstead, stumbled across a dry streambed, not unlike a smaller version of Stanton's Grundle, but unused as a human thoroughfare. This fabulous old Oak suggests it's been here a looong time. Harts-tongue Fern, Common Polybody & Pendulous Sedge. #OurWorldIsWorthSaving 5/8

It is the season of creamy floral plates - Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium), Elder (Sambucus nigra), Dogwood (Cornus sanguinea) - floating along the edge of a Barley sea.

A profusion of Pignut (Conopodium majus), a great favourite of mine, in the relative calm of Dovedenhall Wood, Whepstead. Also Herb Bennet (Geum urbanum).

#Whepstead is a lucky village to have Meadowsweet growing along a main street.

Lovely False Brome (Brachypodium sylvaticum) on the footpath to the church.

Hazels already losing their leaves - also in my dry, dry garden.

Thought I heard a Black Grouse... Instead, and almost as unexpected in the Suffolk countryside...

Even got to look down its ear...

Something sensuous about the Old Man's Beard (looking young and virile) and the Spindle berries (Euonymus europaeus).

Great Willowherb can also be pretty at this time of year.
