Sometimes you wonder why you went out looking for wildlife. This was one such day :-(
 |
| Bracket Fungi |
Apart from the Fallow and Sika Deer there was precious little else to find.
 |
| Sika Deer enjoy the pondweed |
 |
| Fallow Deer looking out for stray golfballs! |
Not one butterfly, beetle, in fact no insects at all, few flowers but some beautifully mown golf fairways - Lol!
 |
| Decaying tree stump (complete with bag of dog poo) |
Sadly, stinging nettle beds had been sprayed (presumably as they are too close to the path and may cause injury) and, probably more understandable, Arum lily clumps had been poisoned.
 |
| Wood Spurge escapes the chop |
Even in our "wild" open places we are tidying up, clearing out anything that we think might be of harm - well, everything has a downside to it, perhaps it is time we looked at ourselves and decided whether the 'pros' we add to the world are worth the weight of the 'cons'.
 |
| Finally, evidence of life - an Oak Currant Gall! |
Sleep well dear friends.
