Stunning Bearded Tits

 

It's not very often we are this lucky but a walk down the track and our luck was definitely in. We could hear the birds pinging all around us so we just stood and waited, hoping that they would come down to grit. We were not disappointed !  These pics were taken a couple of weeks ago so recon they will have finished gritting by now.

Brambling

 

Plenty of Bramblings in at Spurn on Sunday, 470 were in the daily count so not surprising we had one on our morning walk. Lovely birds with their unmistakable call. 

Some stunning fungi in the forest today

 

It took us years to find Amethyst Deceivers, now we have our eye in they are literally everywhere. The forest car park is closed for resurfacing at the moment and hopefully, that will deter the pickers that stripped the forest floor last year. I have spoken to the Woodland Trust who are putting signs up to try and deter the foraging that is now on a professional level throughout the whole of the forest.

The forest has just started to bloom this week with some stunning fungus.
