We're rapidly leaving autumn behind us and moving into winter as evidenced by
the arrival of goldeneye at the flash, as well as pochard and goosander. The
gull roost is rapidly building and will soon no doubt lure me back to Green
Lane in the late afternoon.
The weather has been largely dull, misty, murky and drizzly, with the
occasional bright sunny day interspersed. Long dark nights are imminent
with Halloween and bonfire night swiftly following. I like this time of year
though.
Thousands of woodpigeons have been passing over during the past week or two,
with daily counts often greater than 10,000 in the first hour or two after
dawn.
The drake mandarin still at Plank Lane marina certainly brightens up a dull
day.
A perfect fly agaric toadstool.
