22nd October - Cloudy start, clearing to give some sunshine during the afternoon, light wind westerly, 13C

Early morning saw some bird movement, a single Fieldfare flew SW, further Redwings moved over as did several Chaffinch flocks, a single Yellowhammer and about 20 Goldfinch landed nearby.  A Green Woodpecker 'laughed' nearby and two Chiffchaffs were calling from the thick hedge with a flock of Long-tailed Tits.

Mid-morning a Raven flew over the village calling, having explored the fields to the north.

Early evening a cock Pheasant could be heard 'going-to' roost in trees on the old railway track.

Sue invited me to take a look at the range of fungi that has sprung up in her paddock.  Some interesting specimens, here are a few pictures to show the variety.  I have not identified them all by name yet, but you can still appreciate them, remember to 'click'  the photo to enlarge it.
