A section of sandstone cliff opposite Quatford church, showing the layering this rock is prone to particularly clearly. A closer view also shows the rock is covered in graffiti – another result of its softness.

Heron walking away

Heron walking away

This young heron was fishing by the Staffs & Worcs canal near the racecourse. When it saw me, it started to retreat by walking down the towpath instead of flying away.

Giant, not Sulfur, polypore – West Park

Sulfur polypore

This fungus formed a mound-like structure yards from the Albert Road entrance to West Park.

Sulfur polypore

CORRECTION, August 2013. This is NOT a sulfur polypore, but rather the not very similar looking giant polypore.

I was stone cold sober when I made the misidentification.

Pictures of this year’s return of the fungus to be posted soon.
