River Deele again, today, in a gap in the rain. |
This shot of the riverbank shows Butterbur, Wood Anemone, Hogweed, Cow Parsley, etc. The Heron usually stands on a rock just to the right of this spot. I think a hide would go well here. |
This red faced fly was one of many just standing on the leaves of the Cow Parsley. It was about 10 mm long. It reminds me of a smaller version of a dung fly.

These two fungi have brown gills, brown oval spores, a white, ringless stipe and dry to an off-white colour. 5 cm. across. Psathyrella ?condolleana |
Late visit to the south of the town later in the day.
I was a bit surprised to see this Cowslip on the grass verge - it normally likes an alkaline soil, and it is very acidic around here. |
