Another close encounter of the Goldcrest kind – yet again the wrong camera lens with me!

The Downs are looking really colourful now before the trees shed their leaves fully. Everything was dripping wet today after late evening rain yesterday and an early mist this morning.

Even the Common Wasps have now disappeared and as for other insects I could probably count on two hands the number of flies I saw. It was very much a morning for fungi, some of which I can identify and others that as usual I will make no attempt to put a name to.

Out in the open of the old sheep enclosure I came across Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) on an old tree stump, while all of the unidentified fungi were found amongst the leaf litter in the woodland areas, where I also discovered the tiny Miller’s Oysterling (Clitopilus hobsonii) on a dead twig.
