This was a wonderful sculptural specimen growing on the base of a large Beech @jeremybartlett.bsky.social in Dorset mixed woodland. Is it a Giant Polypore?

After watching it for 4 hours this morning the Pallid Harrier gave a single close(ish) flyby, hunting Teal and Snipe on the reservoir shore. What a bird! #ukbirding #birds

The Corvid roosts are getting larger every evening here at the moment. There are many restless fly pasts as the smaller groups coalesce. Here's one of them from sunset yesterday. Rather a chill in the air. It felt like Winter's Eve. #Corvids #AutumnRoosting

Walnuts slowly maturing and falling to the ground from a tree along a quiet Dorset lane. One on those lovely Autumn sights. #Autumn #Trees

Stonechats - the Great Observers. Imagine the events in human history that the 'chat has observed over the course of time. Always watching from the best vantage point at the side of the track: Roman legions, the arrival of the Normans, the English Civil war - all noted with due impartiality.

The emergent Hare. Having spent the day in the deep woodland, the Hare sits in the gateway assessing the situation in the open field. Eyes, nose, ears and whiskers attuning to a new set of opportunities and dangers. #Hares

Rook at sunset. Surely the thoughts of this bird are worth more than a penny. #Corvids

When I went on the Tube as a child I was always fascinated by the sooty grey/black mice who lived their lives down there over the platform's edge, on the tracks at the stations. What did they live on? I would wonder...

Hornets are very active at the moment, on maneuvers on the grape vines. These 'Gentle Giants' are fascinating to watch - they spend so much time on their fastidious cleaning regimes! The Wasps give them a wide birth. Wonderful creatures. #Hornets

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme is #Vivid; any bird with bright colours. Here we have a jay who is continually coming to the garden to cache acorns. Such an eye-catching seasonal visitor. @atlanticbirding.bsky.social #birds #ECK #birdphotography #birdsofbluesky #naturephotography #ThursJay
