Been having a good mooch for fungi yesterday, mainly in the cemetery. Lots of stuff that i would not have expected to find down a little wooden area that i usually do not go down - however some dumping of some dying/dead tress has increased the potential dramatically - just hope these species hang around till the 1st....

Had 2 Woodcock as well - first time i have had them on my 'patch' biggrin biggrin

I have chosen SD81R as my chosen tetrad for 2011. I will be out of the country for a couple of months next year so want a tetrad close to home where i can note species when i walk the dog etc. The lack of real bodies of water may make it difficult although the river roch does flow through the bottom of the tetrad.
