By choosing a subject I knew would have a high attrition rate (the Hornet nest) I managed to make a huge dent in the edit queue today - only 11,935 to go.

What about the Hoopoe, Purple Heron, Bee Eaters + Wryneck?

The Cygnets are still doing well. They should be flight capable soon.

Us too, but only the one CHB, and a couple of Common... fingers crossed for next year.

Saw very little there this year but thanks for the hard work Tara.

I've loved every minute spent with the hornets over the past couple of months. They are fascinating and charismatic insects. Already aware but a final check today showed they have reached the natural end of their lifecycle

Interestingly all their paper doorways are gone leaving bare holes.

Looks a little intimidating but all shot from a safe distance with our long lenses.

Sizeable Stag (L) was staying on our side of the river today - we found out why when the huge, battle scarred veteran bellowed. and showed himself..

All shot safely at 500mm.

Fallow Deer grunt, Red Deer bellow - both are very loud and form a key part of their rutting procedure.

Fallow Pricket (young deer with as yet un-branched antlers) avails himself of the Jackdaw cleanup service - removing ticks etc.

So, after waking up steepest trails and a c4 mile circuit we finally started seeing both Fallow and Red Deer on the trek back to the car. Pretty typical occurrence tbh.

Finally made it to see deer. Walked miles and saw none. Did find several Stonechat (this surrendered), Kestrel, Sprawk, Jackdaws, Siskin, Redpoll and Woodpeckers.

Continued walking. Rest of images are from today + self evident.

Woke up early to go foe the deer rut only to find dense fog, which didn't lift in time. Went fungi hunting instead. Not much to find.

Butter Caps? Always happy for accurate id corrections.

The Peanut Hawk makes a swift and merciless sneak attack on the mild mannered and sweet Coal Tit.

24 Hours is a long time in the life of a fungi fruiting body.
Note the rear Amanita shows minimal growth/expansion.

L today, R yesterday.
