Magpie Inkcaps

Adele Mallows pictured this fungus in the Portchester Crematorium car-park.  A few hours elapse between the pictures and the fungus has noticeably opened up.

 

Portsdown flowers 27th September

These flowers on the Fort Widley nature trail were growing on a patch of disturbed ground.  The first is corn marigold and the second I think is the cultivated version of flax.  They are a bit too blue for pale flax.

The Billy Trail Sandpiper.

These three excellent pictures taken by Andrew Madgwick are of the pectoral sandpiper that was by the Billy Trail from 26th to 28th September.  Notice the clear edge of the neck collar which is the key Identification feature.
