I first noticed one patch of scarlet elf cups growing on a pile of dead twigs at the back of the former Tettenhall Station an Newbridge about ten years ago.
Since then, they seem to have been gradually extending their presence along the environs of the Railway Walk, getting ever nearer to Mecanno Bridge, adding touches of bright colour to the mid-winter undergrowth. This one, in another new spot, had already been found by some hungry creature.
