Yesterday we went to a very local piece of woodland. A very pleasant walk, and a few nice finds, but remarkably few small birds, something we have noticed at one or two other sites. We did hear Green Woodpecker, and found a Green Woodpecker feather, which might have come from a predated bird, as the shaft was broken.
We found a few fungi, even though the ground was very dry, including an (apparently) uncommon type of Honey Fungus and a young Magpie Inkcap.
In a small sunny clearing we found several Common Darter dragonflies basking on the tree trunks, as was this Batman Hoverfly (Myathropa florea):
I hope you can see why it has its English name
