I have found these pretty flowering plants in several locations here, they are always growing in huge patches in sandy soil near the sea. This is just one of many areas on Strand Bakke showing how they grow, the soil here is sand at the top of our coastal hillside.
This particular area is where I found my Sand Lizard yesterday, amd at the same time last year.

Burying beetles or sexton beetles (genus Nicrophorus) are the best-known members of the family Silphidae (carrion beetles). Most of these beetles are black with red markings on the elytra (forewings). Burying beetles are true to their name—they bury the carcasses of small vertebrates such as birds and rodents as a food source for their larvae. They are unusual among insects in that both the male and female parents take care of the brood. They are carnivores.
