Since the current lockdown has been in place, I have only been doing my exercise walks directly from home and it has given me the opportunity to re-acquaint myself with a couple of very local woods that I have not wandered into for a few years.
I wont put the moth-trap out until we start getting several mild nights in succession but I do occasionally put up an early season moth as I walk through the woods.
Spring Usher (Agriopis leucophaearia) (male)
As I paused to look closely at a fungus growing in a hedgerow, a Robin started trilling just a few feet away and carried on as I slowly got my camera out.
Robin (Erithacus rubecula)
The world of fungi in a January wood seems to be dominated by Brackets, Crusts and Jellies.
Jelly Ear (Auricularia auricula-judae)
Witches' Butter (Exidia glandulosa)
