Sunday, October 9th 2011

The cold drizzly weather did not stop the cameras being in action.  Brian and Sandra found this beautifully coloured fungus on the way to the wetland.

There are still plenty of lovely juicy leaves to consume but this slug preferred a fallen leaf on the stony path.

This male spider was hanging around the edge of a web - was he thinking of going courting?

Angelica flowers are still to be seen and are a source of nectar for any insects flying at this time of year.

Although sightings of the Water Vole are not frequent, Brian found plenty of footprints in the clay in the mink raft in the Scrapes.

And finally this soft feather was blowing gently in the woodland debris.
