More Fungi !

Unfortunately i have no idea what this is. I have done quite a bit of internet research but so far have found nothing. If anyone does know what this is (and yes, i know its a mushroom of some description) then it would be really appreciated if you could let me know what it is.

This was another shot from the same location as my previous photo. The unknown fungi was all over this fallen deadwood and was really quite eye-catching. The light was tricky by this time of the day though so i had to use the camera's in built flash. It didn't give the best results but it was the lesser of two evils.

Blue tit nest

After completing the Mink raft surveys with my college mate Matt, i went for a walk in the woods with my camera. Was about to turn back when a call i don't often hear caught my eye, above was a goldcrest (although at the time i thought possibly a firecrest). I stood and used the age old trick of waiting for nature to come to you. Out of the corner of my eye i saw something fly off of a tree. I didn't think much off it but then it happened several times.I stood back and waited. Turns out i was stood next to a Blue tit nest. That was me entertained for the next couple of hours :D.

Bluebells

This photo was taken the other day on a walk in a woodland near Fareham. The bluebells were everywhere, spring is in full swing it seems :).

Perched Siskin.

Today with the college i went down to the new forest to look at the museum they had there before going on to a place called Blashford lakes which is very good for looking at birds. One of the hides there had several feeders in-front of it and was covered with birds. In fact, we heard them before we saw the hide. I saw my first Siskin and my first Redpole in among a large variety of the more common woodland species. I would definitely recommend it as a place to visit.

I took the photo below ( of a female Siskin) as it was eyeing up a spot on the very full bird feeder. The light was tricky so it was hard to take a half decent shot without any motion blur so i had to use my lowest aperture setting and an ISO of 1600.
