Wild Walk 16th October 2025

Wild white-topped waves

  It was a cloudy day with a mild temperature as I began my daily walk.

   I started my walk around the Potters resort activities field. I avoided a clump of fungi in the centre of the leaf-strewn pathway.

  Many late autumn wild flowers were in bloom in the long grass at the side of the pathway. I photographed some yellow ragwort flowers growing alongside white yarrow and purple clover. Dazzling yellow dandelion-like plants were growing everywhere in the grass. A blackbird swiftly flew into a nearby shrub as I walked past. Two wood pigeons were feeding on the grass in the centre of the field.

  I turned and followed the footpath alongside a local farmer’s field. A large herring gull was flying around high in the sky. I stopped to photograph some impressive teasel plants growing alongside a cluster of chamomile daisies.

  I followed the pathway to the clifftop on the way to Corton, where I took some excellent photographs of the wild, white-topped waves crashing into the rocks on the sandy shore.

Another large, restless, herring gull drifted overhead, obviously patrolling the area searching for food or territorial intruders.

  I photographed a clump of bird’s-foot trefoil. I was surprised to see this, as I have noted these growing in the part of Norfolk I live, all through spring and summer.

Today I walked for 2.56 miles in 56 minutes.
