Bonnet mushrooms (Mycena species) growing directly from the rotting wood of a short section of fallen bough near the Railway Walk at Newbridge.

More of the birds attracted to the bird feeders in the Castle Grounds at Bridgnorth. Titmice were by far the most active.

Bird feeders have been put up at the Castle Grounds public park in Bridgnorth, and were proving popular the day I visited. This nuthatch paid several visits to the peanuts, even trying to get in through the not quite closed lid. For a change, it also sampled the mixed seeds.

The decorative fruit casings of an apple-of-peru bush in the Castle Grounds public park, Bridgnorth. While it’s not any kind of apple, it may actually come from Peru (and elsewhere in South America)

A trace of blue-purple, a sign these mushrooms were blewits, one kicked over. Growing on a grassy area by the main road on Compton Hill.

The same frosty morning as in the previous post, still in QWest Park. Many of the Canada geese were out, shortly after sunrise, nibbling at the frosty grass, casting long shadows.
