These fungi may be called cellar cups, but can also appear in the open air. These were outside the building opposite Banks’ Brewery, recently converted into flats. They could have been brought to the area on wood chip mulch.

For quite a time watching the bird feeding area at Northycote Farm, the only birds coming were bluetits and great tits. Finally, a pair of long-tailed tits arrived in the bushes. They seemed less interested in waiting a place on the feeders, more with playing kiss chase with each other among the branches.

The bushes by the Northycote Farm seed feeders. Here great tits on the surrounding bushes and other convenient perches, waiting for a turn or eating what they had gleaned.

Remains of a house built into the cliff face at Bridgnorth, now by the side of the New Road connecting Undercliff to High Town. The striations in the cliff face showing the profiles of successive dunes in the desert which petrified to form the rock.

Taken on a recent visit to Northycote Farm, when the crowd at the bird feeders was dominated by bluetits and great tits. This set features the smaller bird, mainly seen as they waited on the surrounding bushes for a turn at the food.
