Dartford Warbler Posing
In nearly the same spot as the Stonechat from the previous post, this tiny Dartford Warbler sat still here for a few moments.

Forwarded a photo of tidal flooding near downtown Norfolk, Virginia. And somebody way too eager to douse their brand new pickup truck in salt water. That is not rainwater... #VAwx #flooding #Norfolk #noreaster
A very well camouflaged Little Owl.
It's in a hole in a church tower, in a tiny village in North Norfolk.

Decided to be wildly optimistic and purchase solar eclipse glasses tonight for whole family online in the hope that:
A) they arrive by Wednesday
B) the weather is not cloudy on Wednesday evening
C) we can find a west facing hill that we can get to by 6pm that won’t also have half of Norfolk there

I can well believe that the playing fields of #Norfolk and #Suffolk are too rock hard to play football on right now.
They are parched and dusty with many threadbare in terms of grass. Falling on them would be like landing on concrete.
Again this is where sport, #ClimateChange and class intersect…
Golf courses and private school pitches are still lush green.

As I’ve been away all week, I hadn’t clocked that #Farage had held a #Reform rally in Wymondham, #Norfolk on Tuesday stirring up anti-Pride sentiment:

Glad to say there was still a friendly but not heavy handed police presence.

One of the joys of #Norfolk, like #Cornwall, is that it always a #destination never a place you pass through.
Norfolk elected a new Police & Crime Commissioner yesterday. The Reform candidate won by more than 15,000 votes.
17% turnout.
...
Bawls.

Don't you just love the #Norfolk sense of #humour?
They advise you to seek an #alternative #route to #destination on a #road with no other #access.
#Reform have declared #Norfolk libraries are no longer allowed displays for #Pride:
“Public buildings funded by Norfolk taxpayers must not be used to advance any political agenda or promote the interests of any campaign group, however well-intentioned,"
But being LGBTQ+ is NOT a political choice.
Pride ISN’T a campaign, it’s a celebration of identity.

A couple of images from my trip to Norfolk back in April.
I really do love being there. Just a shame that Right To Roam isn't a thing...

Two of the rooms in King's Lynn Town Hall:
1) the 1768 Georgian Assembly Room
2) medieval Stone Room (rebuilt 1766)
Both taken with the crazy wide Laowa 6mm f2 on OM Systems OM1.

#Reform offers no policies at all…just a massive hint that it will impose austerity on #Norfolk. And yet according to the polls they are favourites here…rural and coastal poverty is about to get a whole lot worse.
‘David Bick said his party was making no promises on what it would do in power as it needed to review the council's "huge level of debt", which is about £885m.
While Reform is not offering a manifesto for Norfolk, he insisted it had good quality candidates.’

Much is being made of the projected implosion of #Labour at the local elections, but in rural counties such as #Norfolk it’s the complete annihilation of the #Tories to #Reform that is going to happen.
Went up to the coast to Wells-Next-the-Sea today and didn’t see a single Tory sign…just #Reform. There will be no one competent left in the room.
