Found quite a few fungi yesterday and took some notes and pictures. I find many of them quite tricky so had to pop back again today to check out a few that I couldn't identify.
There were still
Redwings flying over with several small flocks heading west. The woods still held 30+
Lesser Redpoll, 8
Siskin and 2
Brambling plus a handful of
Goldcrest and a single
Grey Lag Goose flew over. A
Chiffchaff was seen a few hundred metres way from yesterday's bird on the fell. This bird showed a slight wingbar and was a touch on the grey side but did not call and I suspect it was not a British bird but from somewhere to the north and east.

I managed to name 13 species of fungi yesterday but failed on 3 others but I'm happy enough to get this many identified. Three reddish ones I found were.

I'll post a few more next time.
I suppose that's the nice thing about fungi, they let you go back to have a second look if you aint sure. Thanks for your advice. Funnily enough i visit Gateshead Birders everty day but only look at the birds, butterflies and dragonflies. I will look further.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, i knew the Fly Agaric, about the only one i know!!
Thanks again
