September has been and gone and not too bad a month. Plenty of flowers and some birds. Finding more fungi, and a winged creature that stole the show.

Great stuff once again. The star has to be the dragonfly with great close-ups. A Four Spot Chaser I think

Thank you Js, did not know if it was a dragonfly because of its size. Was more leaning to damsel. But it gave a good opportunity to get some nice clips.

Autumn is in full swing which means it is fungi season. There was plenty to see down the woods. Have a sprinkling of birds and a few flowers. A ground nest was raided probably by a badger. That was the month of October.

Thanks Willpar. Good viewing. A couple of points, I am fairly sure at minute 4.31 there is a Song Thrush in the background and the bees at the end are Ivy Bees which are very active in the autumn.

Thank you Js, Will have a look at 4.31. Thought the bees at the end were wasp in the raided nest, though they were on the small side. Yes it looks like a song thrush JS.

Novembers video has landed, not a bad month either. Plenty of birds in this one two from the pecker family, and one on a hover. Good dose of fungi, and a sprinkling of flowers. Some of the white stuff on the moors. That was November.

Thank you JS, has not been a good year for fungi, have had much better ones. Always nice to see some flowers, and a bee. Thanks for looking.

December was quite a mild month for the time of year, but wet also, with rain and mist and fog. But did manage to get enough clips for a video. Plenty of birds and flowers with some late fungi. That was December.
