Wolves Wild

A sunny morning recently, with three herons showing themselves, spread along the shore of boating lake island, West Park. All, as usual, studiously avoiding each other.

A single delicate-looking mushroom in the short grass of a lawn on a quiet residential street. Perhaps a stubble rosegill.

A small flock of tufted ducks gather to overwinter on the lake at West Park every year. There’s probably more to come yet, but fifteen or so have already arrived. Here’s a few of them.

Blushing bracket fungus, one of three growing on a tree by the Railway Walk at Newbridge. Views from below and above.

West Park on a frosty morning. Despite the cold, a pair of pigeons, getting amorous.

Funnel cap mushrooms growing in short grass by a quiet side street. Possibly aniseed funnel caps (Clitocybe odora), but I didn’t check the colour of the gills.
