Walk to Deep Hayes Country Park.


This morning this Ash tree growing along the disused railway line had attracted a number of birds: Wren, Dunnock, Chaffinch adult and three, possibly female/juvenile, Greenfinches,a male Bullfinch, Blue Tit and Goldfinches. Some may have been feeding on the Ash seeds while others were finding invertebrates.




Ducks on Park Pool, Deep Hayes Country Park today. Three pairs Goosander, c20 Mallard (ducks and drakes), c2 male Teal, female Tufted Duck, Grey Heron.

Also around were Jays, 3+ Nuthatches, 5 Tree Creepers, a Buzzard plus more passerines.


Fungi at DHCP today.
 
A black bracket fungus on a dead stump of (probably) Elderberry.

Probably Yellow Brain Tremella mesenterica growing on dead branch of oak tree.
