Cellar cup fungi, Chapel Ash

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.

Queueing for the feeders: long-tailed tits

Queueing for the feeders: long-tailed tits

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.
