Blackcap on bird feeder
This male Blackcap was seen on the bird-feeders in Andy's garden today - the first one to visit his garden this winter - possibly pushed into looking for food there due to the cold-snap.

Trees in Sluice Wood
In mid-December, three volunteers cleared some frees and debris from the river in Sluice Wood.
In early January, a much larger tree came down over the river. taking some other bits with it - and, by 13th Jan, debris was collecting behind it:
Several people commented... so David arranged a work party on 16th Jan to clear it, with permission from the landowner. The river is once again clear!

Hypholoma toadstools on Granta Park
Andy M saw these toadstools on a rotting oak tree stump near the river on Granta Park, The caps were around 3-5 cm across, and he believes them to be one of the Hypholoma genus, possibly the so-called 'Brick-Tuft' toadstool (H. sublateritium), or maybe the 'Sulphur Tuft' (H. fasciculare).
