Babbs Mill Nature Reserve and Yorks Wood, Kingshurst.





Another trip to Kingshurst today where birds spotted were Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, House Sparrow, Song Thrush, Grey Wagtail, Mute Swan, Tufted Duck, Moorhen, Little Grebe, Great Crested Grebe, Grey Heron, Cormorant and Cygnet (5). I don't always pick up the litter (because you'd spend your time doing nothing else) anyway while I was in the Yorks Wood, I just had to pick up this plastic packaging, because there was a lot of it and as I doing so this frog popped out from underneath it and promptly hopped off into the wood, it was only about 2 inches long. The highlight of the day was being as it was a bit quiet on the bird front was finding the (as you can see in third picture) 'Fuligo Septica' which is a type of slime mould and is more commonly known as dog vomit slime mould obviously because of it's yellow bile coloured appearance.
