common_natureWe've had weeks of pretty awful weather but now with Summer approaching Autumn we finally get some decent weather so we took ourselves out into the forest to cover some miles.
The rosebay willowherb is beginning to fade as are the thistles in front of it:
After all the wet weather Ercall Pool has refilled. It was a little bit hazy first thing:
Dropping leaves on the pool:
The Ercall from the pool:
Autumn berries:
And a dingy skipper with a slightly damaged wing- someone tried to make a snack of this little guy.
Sunlight on conifers in the Raby Estate:
I still wonder what you're allowed to get up to on a permissive footpath!
A very late flowering foxglove- most of them are long gone now.
The road goes ever on:
Ancient coppice woodland long gone back wild:
A micro fungus with a growth of lichen:
And that was our walk. Something like ten miles.
