A few more birds and fungi from a couple of hours wandering around the banks of the River Mersey and the local woodland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\"Grey
\nGrey Wagtail.<\/p>\n

One of the more familiar birds of the Mersey as it meanders from Stockport through south Manchester. Surprisingly cautious and far more wary than the Pied Wagtail.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\"Siskin
\nA male Siskin,<\/p>\n

A close relative of the more familiar Goldfinch. One of approximately 60 that visit Kenworthy Woods and Chorlton Water Park each winter. Normally seen feeding on Alder or Birch seeds.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

\"Siskin
\nA female Siskin.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Siskin and Goldfinch there\u2019s also a small group of Lesser Redpoll within the woodlands. Occasionally they\u2019ll be seen feeding by themselves however if one of the local Sparrowhawks is around they\u2019ll join one of the larger groups of finches. Hopefully I\u2019ll be able to take a photo of one before the winter is over.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"Unknown
\nI\u2019m not too sure about the identification of this bracket fungus seen growing on a dead tree stump in Kenworthy Woods. However, the yellow Armillaria fungus in the centre of the clump is possibly the reason why the tree is no longer with us.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"Blushing
\nOne of several Blushing Brackets on a dead branch on the woodland floor.<\/td>\n		\"Many-Zoned
\nMany Zoned Polypore \u2013 also known as Turkeytail.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
