Llwydcoed.
Paid a brief visit to the SSSI, at Llwydcoed on Sunday, just to check on the Willow Gloves fungus. As I was walking along the feeder, through the wet Alder wood, I came across two Willow Tits, foraging through the hedgerow at the northern edge. That wood has plenty of standing dead trees, but also live trees with rot pockets in them, so looks ideal for breeding, I'd say. I was just glad to get Willow Tit for the year.

Nice find and always nice to see first for the year.

ReplyDeleteI might have to twitch your Hazel Gloves.
You'll have to wait and see if it re-emerges. When I checked on it, there were no living fruit bodies left, which is worrying. I'll keep making monthly visits to it in the hope that it hasn't completely died out and will produce new fruiting bodies, As for Hazel Gloves, I have still never seen that, though I am told that there is a wood near Porthcawl where it is fairly common.
