This morning’s roe deer. Nice to look at but can cause a lot of damage to crops and young trees. Numbers have increased a lot in recent years with up to twenty often seen on my walk around here, usually in groups of three.

A Common Redshank, stands in shallow water dotted with green vegetation. It has a long, slender bill and striking orange-red legs, which are reflected in the water. The bird is foraging, with its head lowered toward the surface. #Birds #lukehaigh #birdwatching #photography

We’ve had a lot of rain over the last 48 hours and it’s good to see the burns full again. There’s even a bit of flooding in some of the fields but dig down a few cm and it’s bone dry. We need a lot more steady rain to reverse the effects of the summer drought #ClimateChange #Fife #drought #rainfall

Jelly Ear #fungus, abundant in #Fife at this time of year and most frequently found on dead elder branches. Reportedly edible but apparently very rubbery. I’m not tempted.

Some fine #fungi in #Fife this #autumn. This, I think, is Coprinellus micaceous in early and late stages. Its common names include mica cap, glistening inky cap and shiny cap. #Fifewildlife

With thriving populations of other birds and large mammals, the reintroduction of three species of vulture to Romania's mountains is set to restore the country's lost biodiversity. David Campbell reports:

With thriving populations of other birds and large mammals, the reintroduction of three species of vulture to Romania's mountains is set to restore the country's lost biodiversity even further. David Campbell reports on what is being achieved in the Carpathian Mountains.

Worrying reports of bird flu (avian influenza) are coming in, including an outbreak in Whooper Swans in the Fens. Other waterbirds are also being affected, and cases are rising.
