A beautiful, sunny early morning spent walking through the woodlands at Arne stopping to watch a Spotted Flycatcher, a group of Willow Warblers and a Sika Stag when suddenly a gust of wind carrying the unmistakeable stench of a Stinkhorn stopped us in our tracks.
After literally following our noses we quickly discovered a small group of Stinkhorns growing amongst the leaf litter and where there’s Stinkhorns there’s flies – and lots of them.
