Friday Fungi

A trip to Allerthorpe wood on an overcast day with the  odd shower presented us with an abundance of fungi to photograph.











This moth was determined to walk across the path rather than fly.


I have so far failed to identify it - any help would be appreciated.

There was a plentiful supply of blackberries on the edge of the woodland.


Mrs Wolds-End spotted this group of Ladybirds


Walking across Allerthorpe Common we saw this Dragonfly but it soon disappeared.


There were quite a few spiders webs about with the occupants awaiting a meal.





I was surprised to have found the walk hard work but now realised I was running a temperature.  I was getting the first cold of the year - I hate colds - but then who doesn't.

As Summer comes to an end in the wood Autumn approaches with all the photographic opportunities it brings. So at least I have something to think about while I wrap myself up and raid the medicine cabinet for cold remedies (do any really work) for the next couple of days.

  2. Many thanks for that, your help is much appreciated. I spent ages trying to identify it. There are so many different moths. I never realised until I started trying to identify them but now find the subject fascinating.
