Fourth day in Norfolk

We went to a place I’ve wanted to visit for ages, High Ash Farm, just south of Norwich.  The farmer, Chris Skinner, broadcasts on BBC radio Norfolk - a programme called the Countryside Hour, which you can get wherever you live, on BBC Sounds. He had turned 50% of the farm into an environment for wildlife. In one field he is growing wild flowers and plants which will provide seeds for birds in the autumn and winter. One field has grasses and plants which attract many insects, and above this field were dozens of swifts having a feast. There is also a field full of wild flowers- blooming in succession in spring and summer, mainly for pollinators. Today it was full of ox-eye daisies, poppies, cornflowers, and corn cockles. The three pictures here are all of that field. The white-bum bee liked the cornflowers best and I followed it from one to another. It was already starting to take off when I took this and you can see it’s wings moving. One is a more general shot of the field, and the last is a corncockle, which I’m not aware of seeing before. There’s masses of birds and other wild creatures (foxes, otters deer, hares). Mainly we saw insect eating birds today - house martins, swallows, plus swifts already mentioned. And goldfinches:)
