Calling all Norfolk druids... the hunt for Mistletoe is on!
If you're a reader from Norfolk, then the Norfolk Wildlife Trust need you. They're starting a hunt for the great parasite of yuletide - no not that annoying relative who wangles their way round for christmas dinner each year - but the wonderfully snog-inducing Mistletoe.
The survey has been created in order to find out whether the plant is in decline in the county - which would clearly be a worry for any sickle wielding modern-day Getafix. It's a shame that the survey isn't country-wide, but it doesn't stop all of us looking out for it anyway, as it is quite splendid.
So if you do live in the environs of Norfolk and spot some Mistletoe, the Trust want to know when and where you found it, and on what tree it was growing. You can tell them by filling in an online form. It's easy as mince pie, and you can even upload photos! Such is the magic of Christmas.
