Re: Birkacre
Obviously been a very popular venue this weekend as I had a walk there yesterday morning. I too saw the Kingfisher but couldn't even find 1 Little Grebe, let alone 2 as reportedly seen on Saturday. Didn't look at small lodge so missed the Shoveler! Being fungi recorder i was interested to see one of the wood carvings by the children's playground has a fine group of Brick Tuft fungi growing on it as well as Jelly Ears and Cramp Balls. I couldn't see any Collared Earthstars by the car park but I didn't actually go into the shrubbery. Has anyone seen these fungi this year?

Re: Birkacre
Thanks Carol for your info re the Earthstars at Birkacre. There seems to have been two 'flushes' of fungi in general this year - end of August/beginning of September then they 'disappeared' probably due to very dry month of September only to re-appear mid October. Thankfully, as no severe frost yet this autumn, there are still some fungi around so reports of sightings welcomed!
