Wish I had grabbed some of the morels, although looking dry on the outside they were completely white inside and looked very fresh, and I could have probably half filled a bin bag just from one spot. Still, best I don't go around picking wild fungi, I'm sure it wouldn't end well...

Lovely Spring day so made the most of it with a trip to Dungeness RSPB. Lots of cuckoos around, constantly calling and saw a couple of paired birds flying together for quite a while. Oystercatchers, Marsh Harriers, heard a Bittern booming, loads of totally unidentifiable small brown birds as always.
Saw a surprising amount of lizards, in places we hadn't seen them before, this chap was in one of the hides... Lots of juvenile newts which I had never seen before at Dungeness, it seemed like every sleeper had a few underneath... and the noise from the Marsh Frogs was just crazy, everywhere you went they were calling. Managed to see some very closely and surprised to see they have the huge side pouches that they inflate when calling, didn't expect to see that in a frog in the UK but then what do I know! Make sure you turn the sound up for this one... Loads of butterflies and bees, no dragonflies yet, and didn't manage to see a grass snake but we see them so rarely it is not surprising we didn't do so today. Saw these strange fungus - ID would be nice if someone knows what they are, there were plenty about. |
