A 100 strong flock of Greenfinch came to roost in my neighbours Laurel bush this evening. Fantastic how this has become a regular seasonal occurrence. Numbers up on last year too. My record count of 170+ was 3 years ago. #WorcsBirds
Greenfinch using my other neighbours Oak Tree for a pre roost perch.

Fly Agaric- the iconic 'fairy toadstool' - is having a bumber year locally. But it always seems difficult to find specimens in perfect condition - yesterday I found several - these were two of the best... #FungiFriday 🍄📸
