Gosforth Park 10-6-10

Thursday I ended up in Gosforth Park and walked around the long path, I encountered 4 Roe, one Fox just sitting on the path and a red Squirrel, numerous GSW, two where making such a racket I looked up to try and see them when a falcon flew over the tree tops at the west end of the lake ,it size and shape let me to think Hobby so I went around to the screen to look over the lake but no sign. I t was another dull overcast day and being in the woods made it even darker, I had taken my camera but it was useless,I tried to get the Fox as it sat on the path, it had not seen me but by the time I got focused on it in the gloom, it was gone .

I always think of Fungi as an Autumn thing, but coming across these I could not resist a few shots with my compact camera, I have no idea what they are, and don't really care as I struggle to remember plant names let alone getting into Mycology .

Gosforth Park as I have said before is a reserve of The Natural History Society of Northumberland ..................details here
