Last weekend, I was again at the Nose, seeing not much of a bird nature, but again finding waxcaps whilst bowed against howling wind and driving drizzle...
Things just keep happening, don't they? A slight attack of the side effects reinforced a 'stay on Patch' weekend, which was doubly frustrating considering what was coming [for the Historical Record, it's 'Lockdown 2: This time it's cold and wet and horrid'... Ahem]*
But I have more cute little plasticky funguses, photo'd whilst soggy, which is when they look their best imho, and this time I almost certainly won't stick surprise horrid gulls on the end. Honest.
You believe me, don't you?
Anyways, observe, regardez-vous!

Away from the Nose, I found something interesting and very Purdy;
Ooooh...
Metallic lilac!
But what is it?
A very good question. I'm not sure, is the answer! I think it's Lilac Bonnet, but it seems, well, a bit too lilac [yes, really]. Before anybody says "It's always the [Amethyst] Deceiver!", note the big umbo and un-Deceiverly stem.
Gorgeous thing, whatever it is.
That's all, folks!
Be Seeing You...
[[*Turns out we would be allowed to go birding, if not tarting all over the country. But I didn't know that then.]]
