Geese on flooded fields
Water everywhere @rspb.bsky.social #pulboroughbrooks Great for lapwings, Canada geese and lovely to hear the calls of wigeon.
Saw thrushes, woodpeckers, stonechats, robins and blackbirds.

Brown orange fungi in amongst leaves
Purple fungi with rolled up edges
Striped fungi on birch tree
Red fungi with white patches
So much gorgeous fungi @rspb.bsky.social #pulboroughbrooks
The heathland trail has labels for many of them so I’ve learnt some of their wonderful names!
These are: Tawny Grisette, Amethyst Deceiver, Turkeytail and The Sickener or Beechwood Sickener.

Amazing day at @rspb.bsky.social #PulboroughBrooks adder spotting with guides.
Never seen an adder before so it was a privilege to see several, both female and male and learn more about them. They are thriving at this particular nature reserve.

A pretty good species list, including my first bullfinch and Cetti's warbler!

Close up of pink and orange spindle berries
A flock of Canada geese, a late Red Admiral, spindle berries and exciting to see a Peregrine Falcon perched in a tree (camera lens just about powerful enough to identify it).
