With deep ditches and ponds to either side of the footpath the water was just about clear enough to allow the route of the footpath to be followed. During normal years in late winter the woodland floor is dotted with bright red Scarlet Elfcups. This year a few came sailing past.<\/p>\n<p>On the western slopes of the woods more Scarlet Elfcups to be found. Although I normally try to be inconspicuous taking photos of fungi with a camera attached to a mini tripod attracts a bit of attention &#8211; especially on a Sunday afternoon. Great to see the amount of interest from other visitors especially a couple of young children and their parents. Shortly after the foragers arrived &#8211; a shame the Elfcups aren&#8217;t poisonous!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5091\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5091\" class=\"wp-image-5091 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P1010444.jpg\" alt=\"Distinctive and unmistakable. 5 minutes later they were gone .\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P1010444.jpg 840w, https:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P1010444-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P1010444-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P1010444-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P1010444-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P1010444-385x257.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5091\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Distinctive and unmistakable. 5 minutes later they were gone .<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_5092\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5092\" class=\"wp-image-5092 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P1010435.jpg\" alt=\"More Scarlet Elfcups.\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P1010435.jpg 840w, https:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P1010435-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P1010435-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P1010435-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P1010435-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/P1010435-385x257.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5092\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">More Scarlet Elfcups.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_5094\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5094\" class=\"wp-image-5094 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0857.jpg\" alt=\"One of 17 Ring-necked Parakeets in and around Stenner Woods\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0857.jpg 840w, https:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0857-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0857-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0857-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0857-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/naturalbornblogger.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC_0857-385x257.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5094\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of 17 Ring-necked Parakeets in and around Stenner Woods<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few highlights from a recent visit to Fletcher Moss Gardens and Stenner Wood.
