Gee whiz! Now I’m getting embarrassed. However, Hubby has been flying his drone over one of our very depleted dams this afternoon while I’ve been at the gallery. It’s a bit disconcerting to see how the Typha has collapsed in on itself. The first photo is a high view, the second photo shows some long necked turtles who apparently live there. They’d better not be seen by cormorants.
Lots of aerial activity overhead this lunchtime ... first the unmistakable sound of a Spitfire had me dashing out into the garden (well, unmistakable to someone who grew up with my Pa ) and I watched it circle the golf course before flying off into the distance. Then, a very few minutes later something very noisy had me out there again and a large military transport type helicopter circled low overhead a few times then went northwards and descended and hasn't reappeared ... it must've landed in the park the other side of Newmarket Road ... about 0.5km away
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
It was Battle of Britain Day nearly a fortnight ago @Pat E ... the Spitfire flypast was cancelled then because of weather problems ... maybe they've done it today instead ... and maybe there was another march past for some reason and they arrived by chopper?
Nothing in today's paper or on local radio tho' ...

Never have so many, owed so much, to so few.......... I know that machines did not win the war, but I have always felt that Spitfires were a major factor. I love them.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
One of the great joys of this site, is to see what other people put up with / enjoy. It is even better when those people live on the other side of the world.
I echo these comments Pat. As most of us have never been/ will never go to Australia, your photos are of a life/natural world alien to us. You said you love seeing the geese on our lake, we love seeing wallabies on your land too.
Sorry to dive in here - maybe not appropriate on this thread - but I saw what I think was the RAF's Lancaster flying over on Saturday afternoon, presumably in transit between flypasts. A nice surprise!
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
We get lots of low level heavy duty Chinooks flying over to their base at Odiham, probably straight over Chicky too. Sometimes so low that the house vibrates! We also get the occasional Spitfire or Hurricane and if we are lucky the Lancaster flying over. The sound of their RR engines is so distinctive it is always a signal to look up if I am in the garden.
