Bay polypore?

Birch polypore

Ok, enough of the excitement. There was something a little more active, or well, a sign of activity anyway.

Anyway, the deer definitely like bark, or rather the sap underneath it;

Fresh munching

Speaking of destruction..

Self-propelled wood-chipper

 I suppose I ought to put in at least some sort of bird-related image, though I'm afraid my autofocus was up to it's tricks again, so please save your eyes and don't expand the thumbnails;

Assorted tits

Quick change

Ok, awfulness restored.
