Peter Jones Wildlife blog

 Autumn seems to have whizzed by. I had two weekends away, one in Norfolk, and one in Cornwall. Both staying in the campervan. Not many photos to show for all the walking, but finding a Yellow-browed Warbler on both trips was just about note worthy these days! Norfolk also had a Red Backed Shrike, at Titchwell, and a leucistic starling, which was just a Common sadly. Surprisingly few waders at Titchwell. Cornwall, also had Firecrest and Chough.

Got in touch with a local who has a lot of success finding Adders and more recently, Great Crested Newts locally. The Newt I've never seen before, but now I have a better idea of their habitat, and how to find them, should be more successful in coming years. Today, we just found a single, young male. A lot of fungi in the area, so a trip with my various fungi field guides might make for a very frustrating afternoon!
