I think I have succeeded in uploading a video but seem to have failed to get the sound of the deer rutting in the distance. Here in the southeast, there is nearly always traffic noise, even early on a Sunday morning and unfortunately the cars drown it out but you will have to imagine the rasping grunting of a deer rutting.
The sun was only out for a very short time this morning and the damp mist quickly returned. The dampness at this time of year is perfect for fungi of all types and although I wouldn't suggest looking at dog poo as a hobby, I couldn't help but notice this furry pin mould on my way up the hill.
Somehow these fungi on a cowpat look more attractive but they all break down dung, which if you think about it, is really important; otherwise we would be knee deep in the stuff!
The Forest is looking very autumnal but there are still a few pink cross-leaved heath flowers amongst the yellow dwarf gorse.
I am still considering this to be the start of autumn and we don't usually feed our garden birds until winter as there is plenty of natural food around at the moment. However as I dried the dogs off after our walk, this robin seemed to suggest that food would be welcome. Either that or he was keen to come indoors! (The black splodge in the corner is the dog's bottom.)
