My first visit in ages to my tetrad - did a short walk through a 1km section, an arean which backs on the R. Roch, 75 species in total - 50 of which will be new for year, highlights;
I have been doing some photography out of tetrad but thought i would have a nosey around the cemetery to get some fungi on the board;
Hazel Bracket - incluiding some specimens having very green tinges underneath which the books do not mention, howvever after looking on the net and at Bioimages.org then they had specimens showing this green tinge. Tyromyces chioneus - no previous GM record - into the herbarium!

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'
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.
