Gamlingay Wood 19.11.13

An autumn stroll around one of my favourite woods was a perfect diversion on a bright sunny day. Its a bit late in the season for fungi now so didn't see too much diversity, but the spotting of a really tiny mushroom (pic 3) was a nice find. Much of the conifers here are being removed, which will be great for the biodiversity in the coming years.

Clent Hills 3.11.13

A nice walk on the Clent Hills turned up hundreds of Amethyst Deceivers, many more than I've ever seen. Also saw a Peacock Butterfly over a field :-)
