A slug eating fungus - not what I expected to find when I went out today looking to photograph toadstools and mushrooms...
Then there was tale of the snails - like miniature ones you find on the beach - with long shells rather than round shells...
I also found some black fungus - turns out this is called "King Alfred's Cakes"...
I found a nice mushroom lit by a patch of sunlight and there was a little froglet too, on a fallen moss-covered log. He was posing nicely, but soon hopped off.
Then lastly on the way out, on a fence, another common red darter dragonfly. Nice eyes and chops on these...
Oh, and when I got home, the wife had found a sawfly - first time I've managed to get a shot of one these - probably a male Tenthredo atra (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae).
Not a bad day to spend an hour or two with the macro lens at Brockholes Nature Reserves.
Paul.
