This is half way up the huge trunk of an old Beech tree. Do not have an ID ?- not even sure it is fungal. Ideas anyone? It is approx the size of an apple.
........a very small squirrel and extremely fast. It eventually paused to look down at me for a few seconds. Squirrels seem to be having a good winter this year, plenty of food about and mild weather.
Several of the Beech trees have been victims of the storm. It is obvious from the base that they were rotten. This did not show when they were standing.
Another Beech victim. There are many left standing and I hope they remain so. However, if this one is also rotten at the base, how many more are like this?
An icy path next to a very battered fence. A car was driven through this fence a few weeks ago. I suspect it was stolen - the driver was lucky the car did not fall the 2m drop into the river.
This photo was taken on a very dismal day - there had been a snow fall most of which had melted but there was also ice and many muddy puddles. Did not stay out for long - too cold and damp. We have not had much snow in England, thankfully, but there has been some beautiful sunsets. I am now looking through the window at the sun setting behind bare trees and hoping for a lovely Spring.
