A Walk through Wassand Wood

Lovely day for a wander through the wood. Good light too, perfect for a few pics.

There are several different species of fungus in the wood and I'm hopeful that I'll be able to id each one (eventually!).

Lots of birds singing now - Great Tit, Coal Tit, Robin of course, Song Thrush, and a couple of Great Spotted Woodpeckers drumming

Out of the wood and into the fields. There is a Kestrel over Snipe Grounds/Heslops area almost every morning. It doesn't allow you to get close and this is the best photo I've managed so far.

The male Goldeneyes are displaying - it must be Spring soon 😉
