That is a very strange photo - the bird seems to be dangling in midair. Would love to see a long-tailed tit, are the only in the east of the country?

They’re pretty much country-wide and are only missing from coastal fringes along the west and north.

Came across these on my walk. Google tells me their called Scarlet Elf Cup Mushrooms. Lovely colour to see in the drab undergrowth at this time of the year.

On a similar note, here's some trumpet lichen I took a while back :

took this just now, zoomed right in and cropped it to the last. Is it a Thrush?

It’s a female blackbird - the yellow beak gives it away. Blackbirds belong to the thrush family.

thanks. I could see something large in the hedge the other side of the field and considering how far away it was, I managed to get a shot of it.

This guy decided to take a break from his drumming and visit the feeders today,

Came across this robin on my walk. Found he preferred my granola maple syrup bar to the bird seed I had brought him. In return he posed for a number of shots on my visits.
