The bracket fungus I showed the other day is now identified as a Red-Belted Bracket, which is considered rare in Britain, so here it is again.  I do need to check whether it has pores or gills underneath just to be sure.

16 Lapwings and an Oystercatcher.

Two Wigeon, four Teal and seven Tufted, plus a Mute Swan.  A couple of Cormorant flew over.
