Thanks to Rachel, who took these pictures in the village on October 22nd. She comments "There are lots of funghi to see at the moment! However, many are toxic so they are not for touching".
If anyone has seen anything unusual, or which reflects the changing seasons, please email your observations to me at nature@hankelow.org.uk.

As the warm weather continues the daffodils are in full bloom everywhere, and Wood Anenomes are also in bloom in many places around the parish. The ones on the left are in Mill Lane. However, snow is forecast for Thursday... JD

With the warm sunny weather, there are plenty of wildflowers appearing, and plenty of insects in evidence - lots of butterflies and bees about today. JD

Even more snowdrops - it seems to be a good year for them. There are also more celandines appearing. Woodpeckers are drumming and thrushes have started singing loudly, and despite the wind I saw a rather large bumble bee yesterday. JD
