ID please for these furry clad mycena(?) #fungi #mushrooms #toadstools

NO CYCLING! It doesn't apply to cyclists. Neither do red lights, no entries, one-way streets, no left / right turns, speed limits, riding on pavements or in pedestrian precincts. And to cap it all, they expect you to get out of their way!!

I forgot the pictures for @PaintingAndrew and @TempleBalsall I'm losing it in my old age! Here is one of the fields and the bees who love it so much ....

I have been walking for nearly an hour in the middle of Warwickshire and so far I have seen 1 ringlet, 1 meadow brown and 1 gatekeeper. Lots of flowers and umbellifers but scarcely an insect to be seen!

I am in N Wales presently. Lots of abandoned fields, footpaths, hedges crammed with flowers. There is hardly an insect to seen. No background hum, no zooming flies. It is quite worrying.

And right on @TempleBalsall 's doorstep. A Beautiful Demoiselle.

We will remember them.

Here's a horse chestnut doing exactly the same thing!

Does anyone know what these toadstools are? They are growing in the compost (or the roots) of my potted lemon tree.

Scene" on my daily walk. A 4picture mini blog of what I saw over about 4 miles. Focus on the river today - It's called the Scriabourne (Clear stream) with good reason Under the motorway the kids have done a repaint And a 'professional' has added to it But there's always someone!!
