for identifying the pond snail along with Wilma who identified it as some sort of snail.
On to a new puzzle picture.
A couple of microscope shots and the rest small crops from the TZ7.
Guess What:
I'm not expecting a specific identification, just a general name will do.
No prizes. Just for fun.
Robin Nest Box
While doing some pruning and general tidying up at the bottom of the garden I had a look in the Robin nest box. I was pleased to see that it contained a nest so something had made use of it for the first time in the three years it has been available.
I think some leaves have been blown in recently but the nesting moss can be seen under them. The box was empty last time I checked which was after the Great Tits had fledged their box in June.
It's a fungus.
ReplyDeleteI'll go with a mushroom, of some sort.
ReplyDeleteA toadstool of some sort?

mushroom, perhaps Hygrophora spp.
ReplyDeletenice that your nest box was used!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the star - I'll hang it from the Christmas tree :)
ReplyDeleteMonday's guess ~ A mushroom from a fairy ring, or a toadstool :)
Yes, good to see that your nest box was used. Any snow yet in your part of the UK?
Wilma: it took me by surprise as it had been empty for so long.
ReplyDeleteGlo: No snow here as yet, just a couple of icy mornings.
