So, autumn is nearly over. For me, the time of the year is over when I sought fungi, both edible and delicious as well as rare and poisonous for photos. Best find this year was the ultra-rare Imperator rhodopurpureus, an absolutely stunning bolete found in grassland at Windsor, although 20 years of waiting came to an end two weeks ago when I found the Old Man of the Woods as well.
As hen harriers eye my favourite Norfolk heathland, I only have two wishes for this season: see the stunning hen harrier, hyperactive merlin and adorable owls again, and see the great grey shrike, which I accidentally call 'velociraptor' more times than I like to admit. And I hold outside hope for the rough-legged buzzard and perhaps a waxwing or two. Possibly even a king eider, who knows
What about you? Any wishes for this winter?
