A trip over to a cloudy, misty, foggy and wet castle Bromwich today where all the birding was practically done in the last half an hour due to the miserable conditions, thankfully there was plenty of Funghi to keep me occupied, over 100 photos again, as well as I had some bread, cake, apple and of course bird seed to leave the wildlife.
Birds seen were Nuthatch, Coal Tit, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Long Tailed Tit, Chaffinch, Song Thrush, Starling, Blackbird, Carrion Crow, Magpie and Woodpigeon. I also heard but didn't see House Sparrow and Robin. It was nice to see both a Nuthatch and Coal Tit today being as I don't always see them on my travels. In a group of trees there must have been forty of fifty Blackbird flying around, due to the volume I thought they were maybe Redwing or Fieldfare but alas they were our humble Blackbird, which were just as nice to see in such a great number.
As I said there was Funghi galore again today, the ones in the last picture are Psilocybe Cubensis which is a genus of mushroom with psychedelic properties, hence their more common name of 'Magic Mushrooms', these ones found were a tripheads dream because there were hundreds and hundreds of them, ranging from ones coming through the ground to fully grown ones in huge clumps, you literally had to step over them all the time.
