It was such a treat to find these gorgeous little green cup mushrooms in the forest this morning. Usually all I can ever find is the bright turquoise mycelia in the rotting wood. Finding the thumbnail size fruiting bodies is pretty rare for me. Their colour is unreal. 🍄🌿

A Puffin announcing a new #BirdPhotography thread, while standing on a rock to qualify for today’s main #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Rocky (which might, for all I know, be the bird’s name 😉). Photographed on Skomer Island last month. #Birds #UKWildlife #EKC 🌿 (also an early post for #SuperSeabirdSunday)
Photo of an Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica) perched on top of a rock with green vegetation (low-growing Sea Campion, then taller Bracken) out of focus in the background. The Puffin is facing towards the right of the picture, with head slightly raised and wings held open. He or she has black upper parts, with the black extending around the whole of the neck, and enclosing white sides to the face. The underparts are white. The beak, triangular in shape when seen from the side, is blue-grey near the base, and red towards the tip, with yellow lines enclosing the blue and thinner yellow lines within the red. The short legs and webbed feet are orange.
