I’d been watching the bird feeding station at Northycote Farm for a good quarter hour on a freezing morning. The only birds coming had been the titmice featured in recent posts. Then, for no reason perceptible to me, all the bird disappeared. Just as I had packed away my long lens, this robing materialised on the ground under the feeders.
A young yew at the top of Cannon Steps in Bridgnorth. The ends of the branches seemed to be covered in masses of tiny flowers.
The bluetits and great tits had been monopolising the bird feeders at Northycote Farm for a long time. A pair of long-tails had put in an appearance, though their minds did not seem to be focused on eating. Finally, this single coal tit also arrived, but not for long. here it was pausing to check out safety before grabbing a little seed.
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.
