Wildlife officers were surprised to discover a number of rare plants while patrolling a north Norfolk canal bank.
The plants found on the North Walsham and Dilham Canal include Sea Milkwort, Red Maids, White Melilot, Balkan Spurge and Bifid Hemp-nettle, and experts said the rare species are thriving in the North Walsham area.
Officers suspect diverse soil substrates on the bank are the reason for the large numbers of rare species.
