2 Black Darter dragonflies- no doubt still active due to the very mild weather
Fungi (that I could identify). 16 Fly Agaric - a patch of 14 plus 2 singles Birch Bracket Penny Bun Yellow Russula Common Earthball
Still lots I cant, including a couple of the attached photos (the pure white one and the white one with the yellow in the centre of its cap). Open to suggestions.

Hi Steve, I'm not that good at identifying birds & Fungi is definitely way out of my league but the nearest matches
I can find are 'Destroying Angel Mushroom' for the pure white one & 'Yellow Fieldcap Mushroom' for the yellow tipped one.

At least two Painted Lady butterflies amongst excellent numbers of Small Tortoiseshell, Peacocks, several Common Blue and a Comma along the western edge of Little Woolden Moss NR.
Incredible number of dragonflies over the reserve too, superb to see!
c40+ Peacock butterflies mainly in two small areas (of thistle and a buddleia) along the very western edge of Little Woolden Moss NR this afternoon, along with c16 Red Admiral and smaller numbers of Small Tortoiseshell and Gatekeeper with a single Painted Lady.
A single Peacock butterfly on the wing this early afternoon along the edge of Rindle Wood and moving around trying to take in the few rays of warmth from the sun.
As you know, fungi are not my thing but I would suggest; 2nd Pic = Scytinotus Longinquus - Peeling Oysterling 4th pic = Ascocoryne Sarcoides - Jelly Drops
Cant take any credit though, I use an App on my Iphone called "Picture Mushroom" ! I find it pretty good, although wouldn't use as a basis to eat anything!
I also use another good App called "PictureThis" for plants.
I found a few interesting fungi that I have no idea what they are and the patch of Common Earthstars I found last week had increased to over 30 specimens. Any help with ID fungi in my attached photos would be much appreciated. I think the red one is a type of slime mould.
