Amazing what happens if you just stand still, currently sitting still in this part of the woods and there’s birds all over . I have seen Great Tits, Nuthatch & Jackdaw.

Tree stump full of Fungi or is it mushrooms? Remember whatever you do don’t pick them just watch them.

It is 9 years today I went twitching for The Mandarin Duck at Blackford Pond. I went the day before with no luck so I returned the next day and there it was. It has been the only Mandarin Duck I have seen.

Was hoping to go Birding this morning but it’s damp and foggy outside so I’ve moved my Birding to Thursday.
