Caister on sea Dunes plant hunt.










Living at Caister I dont think people appreciate quite what we have here, to the south is Gt Yarmouth North Denes an SSSI area and to the North is Winterton Dunes a huge area also with an SSSI, but Caister seems to be overlooked.
At least once a week I go walking on the Dunes either south or north, walked south today with my sister,we were on a hunt either for butterflies or interesting plants, of which we saw apsolutely loads, unfortunately i forgot my camera, so I will try and remember to take it and get some pics to post up next time, there were loads of lovely plants a couple we couldnt recognise, but got Yellow Rattle, Birds foot trefoil, Sea Lupins, Wild Rocket, Mallow, Sea Sandwort, a few others i will need to look up , there is a particular interesting area behind Caister lifeboat shed which is quite shingly and rocky, there was plenty to see there, just past this area was a large expanse of shrubs, Lilac looking but white and on these shrubs were some lovely caterpillars. need photos there too, hopefully they will still be there when we go back.
