Toad, dragonfly and fungi.

I just had a pleasant walk along the Caldon Canal to Hazelhurst Junction and back to Endon on the disused railway line. Notably I spotted Grey Wagtail and Kingfisher, both near the junction itself. other birds seen and hear were Chiffchaffs, Long-tailed Tits, Kestrel, Bullfinch, Wrens, Corvids and Goldfinch. On the way back I managed to get photos of: a Common Toad; probably a male judging by its muscular front legs, A Common Darter basking on an iron rail, and Sulphur Tuft fungi growing on a rotting stump.
