How about this one? On thyme at Middle Harling Heath.

This was the most unexpected of the 30 bee species I found, but was also nice to see two Norwich specialities, little yellow-faced bee and four-banded flower bee.

Summer must be here, first Polistes dominula of the year in Brundall, E Norfolk, hunting among my garden bindweed jungle.

Tormentil mining bee found in the fantastic valley mire at Broadland Country Park, only the 2nd time it has been seen in Norfolk this century. @sezb17

I found the real thing on sunday at Broadland Business Park - my first spring male Andrena trimmerana. That spine and those jaws!

Probably another county first, in fact can only find reference to one previous UK record. Macroteleia bicoloratus (Scelioninae), reared from reed stems alongside Conocephalus nymphs which are likely host.

Andrena vaga nesting found on a housing estate in Brundall this afternoon. First record for Norfolk I believe, but likely to be elsewhere in E.Norfolk and E Suffolk, sandy ground near willows.

More to do with working from home than anything else but lesser redpoll on our bird table was the second garden tick this month (after nuthatch). Shame about the dirty camera and dirtier windows though.

Any thoughts on the identity of this coral fungus, is horse paddock, under a poplar, E Norfolk.?

I last saw one of these in the 1980s. Sandy stilt puffball on road verge near the entrance to Strumpshaw fen today.

Following up info from @Ben_Lewis_uk, I had to have a look at a colony of Odynerus spinipes and parasite Chrysis viridula on a pile of soil behind the dunes at Waxham. A bit safer than scaling the crumbling E. Norfolk soft cliffs where I normally see these two.
