Orson left over some poster paints so I made a quick crappy painting of our trip to Felbrigg this weekend.
I wasn't going to post it, but he noticed Mortimer was in it, and asked me to do one with him in it. So here he is with Daddy
You'll notice he's not actually riding his bike. Lazy boy.

Lots of Common Toadflax growing along the roadside verge; these few were on top of a bank. Several
Speckled Wood butterflies were seen today.
A pair of Gadwall seen at Felbrigg today. The female seemed quite happy to be photographed, while the male was hiding behind the reeds.

Lots of rain today so a few pictures from a dry day. Four Mint Moth in the garden a couple of days ago. Moorhen on the lake at Felbrigg NT and shiny Rose Hip berries in the hedgerow. A plant with a small delicate blue flower - Skullcap, it likes damp places and I like the name.

2/3 The font spent a number of years as a garden ornament across Norfolk at Fincham. In the early 19th Century Cotman painted it there, and it's in the collection of Felbrigg Hall. Cotman erroneously described it as 'Saxon': www.nationaltrustcollections.org.uk/object/1397881

Common Darter basking in the sun on the dam wall at Felbrigg NT, whilst close by this Mute Swan was preening. Found a Speckled Wood butterfly which was sitting on a Bramble leaf before relocating across the scrub to rest with its wings open.

Nice walk around Felbrigg Hall in Norfolk this afternoon. 7.5km around the estate while our friends went around the house. Almost got back to the car park before the heavens opened. Lol..

Walking along a track at Felbrigg NT at midday when a bat flew past. It dropped onto a tree, stayed a short time before flying in & out of a nearby copse before coming to rest on a tree again. Repeated this activity a few times before flying off. No idea as to the type of bat.
