14th October 2018

   Had a big surpise on the side of the trap this morning, a beautiful marbled, a forth for Norfolk (the third earlier this am at a site near Holt), and a first for VC28. Having been vismigging on cliffs am didn't get to the trap until 0930hrs, so very lucky to still have it on the side of the trap!

Off patch - Sheringham beach

    Another night time seach for Nebria livida at the Sheringham end of the soft cliffs. Tom Parkes and I managed to find five, along with a few frogs, sea slater and a superb woodlouse spider. The beetles were again loyal to the seepages and in one case the edge of a pool behind the old sea defences.


Nebria livida - behind old seawall

Common frog - 4 found at base of cliffs

 Sea slater - 8+ scuttling along prom edge

Woodlouse spider spp. - plenty of woodlice present.
