Went for an amble with the Folks and Canis horribilis salivatus about Fernworthy on Sunday.
Weather wasn't ideal, but we had a nice time.
[Ok, might have been better if that hadn't been the day the Coastguard decided to do repeated landing practice on site.. We appreciate that they have to do this to be ready for when they have to, but perhaps not on a Sunday? Maybe?]
Anyways, the usual woodland - deciduous and conifer - species were about, though with the wind and lack of sunshine most weren't feeling super-showy. Pity as a flock of at least 27 Siskin would have been quite something if they'd stopped in view.
No shrikes, of course [hey, I can hope] and almost nothing on the Res. due to aforementioned chopper's repeated circling and landings. Eventually 5 Tufties and a GCG appeared, and the gulls were just starting to return as we left. Oh well.
A few piccies,
Plenty of water,
slight lack of birds
Crossbill
Siskin and Chaffinch
Soil section
To prevent [or at least delay]
slobber attacks, apply chew
And, inevitably, a few fungi,
White Spindles
Stump Puffball
Yellow Stagshorn
Bitter Bracket
Funeral Bell
Ochre Brittlegill
Rosy Brittlegill
[a bit munched]
Iodine Bonnet
In case you're wondering, the weekend was largely taken up by being out but not birding due to it being That Time Of Year.
And yes, Patch Fungi Post is still in the works, pictures if not IDs are progressing.
Ho Ho Ho
Be Seeing You...
