#snettisham — Public Fediverse posts

Four from RSPB #Snettisham yesterday. Two inland species from near the car park, Caper Spurge (another new one for me) and the mandatory Fleabane. And two for the #ByTheSea challenge - Vipers Bugloss and Sea Mayweed. #WildflowerHour #Norfolk #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

This was what I went to #Snettisham for yesterday - Carline Thistle on top of the embankment at the top of the beach. A bit past its best and not taken from very close because it was inside the bird-nesting area and I had to stay outside, but still a really berserk flower. #WildflowerHour #ByTheSea #Norfolk #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

A classic #ByTheSea plant, from the seaward slop of the sea defences at #Snettisham. Long-horned Poppy with its very strange extremely long seed pods. #WildflowerHour #Norfolk #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

75 years ago today, on 17th November 1950, it was 22 year old Tom Rout's turn to be ploughing a field in #Snettisham, Norfolk.

He turned up one of the most iconic British archaeological finds - the Snettisham Great torc...

Yesterday I went to #RSPB #Snettisham in #Norfolk to see a Short-toed Lark that's been feeding on the beach there. Here are the floral highlights of my day out - Autumn Hawkbit, Common Storksbill, Carline Thistle (very dead, but with the seed heads still intact) and Viper's Bugloss. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

#Snettisham Hoard F has some very strange stuff going on, but I think I'm starting to understand it.

This paper leads on from one I wrote about the Grotesque torc & lays down evidence for the next paper I'm currently writing...

Enjoy! 😊

A read for the weekend. Related to something - well, two things really - that I'm writing at the mo.

More to come soon, but in the meantime, here's the prequel!! 🤣🤣

Hi folks. I wanted to share my thoughts on the recently published Snettisham Hoards volumes (link to an online copy of the books is in the blog).

Thank you for reading 😊

My #FavouriteFind of 2024 - Carline Thistle at #RSPB #Snettisham in August. I'd wanted to see this plant for literally years, partly because it's so very odd and partly because it was the only thistle available in England & Wales that I'd never seen. #Norfolk #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

Never mind the highlight of my trip to #Norfolk, this was the botanical highlight of my year. Carline Thistle was the only thistle species available in England or Wales that I'd never seen. At RSPB #Snettisham on Friday, suddenly there is was. What a wonderful, mad flower it is. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

I went to #Norfolk for a couple of days - here are some photos from the RSPB reserves at #StrumpshawFen, #Snettisham and #FramptonMarsh. Fleabane, Bogbean, Perennial Sow Thistle, Musk Thistle. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

#WestNorfolk #planningApplication #2301819F #Snettisham Deer Park 4 holiday cabins, 8 #cycleParking spaces. Great, as it is right on #ncn1. I expect #KLWNBUG will support it.

Those of you who've been torc watchers for some time may remember the 'they were chewing gold at #Snettisham' torcs.

Having now looked at these in the flesh & under a microscope, it's still in the frame. I also showed the photos to someone with a lot of experience of forensic dentistry, and they too thought it was likely (photo caveats apply).

Watch this space... next steps will be to hopefully get moulds and look at them properly. Another for the To Do list...
