Coniferous forestry.
Dull but warm.
Two mushrooms to start - one large, the other tiny. This Agrocybe praecox was about 6 cm across.
And this tiny Bolbitius vitellinus was less than 1 cm. across.
I think this Black Vine Weevil was working on the assumption that if it can't see me, then I can't see it.
I bothered this tiny bee just enough to get it to fly off.
Another Soldier Beetle - Cantharis pallida - this time on Bramble.
Another two insects - a green Sawfly on the left and a Picture-wing fly with interestingly mottled wings on the right.The Picture-wing flies (or Tephritis) are specific to flower species with compound heads. This was on Marsh Thistle.
The Pyrenean Lily is naturalised on a few verges around here. Very exotic.
This is the first of our Common Spotted Orchids. (And Ragged Robin on the right).
You're going to see a lot of these orchids.
Oh, and I nearly forgot. I saw this young Fox on the journey back home.
