A good crop of fungi here at a half-frozen Gaddon Loch #fungi #Fifewildlife #winter

Another amazing fungus, the aptly named ‘Yellow Brain’ from a local park in north #Fife #Fifewildlife #ScottishWildlife #fungi

Today’s Fife & Kinross Local Group of Scottish Wildlife Trust walk at Cults near Cupar #Fife. We learned about veteran trees, coppicing, the local history of limestone mining and saw a variety of fungi and lichens @scotwildlife.bsky.social #trees #Fifewildlife

A stunning Elephant Hawk Moth from my monitoring session in North Fife last night. #NationalMothWeek @savebutterflies.bsky.social #FifeWildlife @mothiduk.bsky.social @wtylerbatt.bsky.social

On #NationalBogDay a stunning sundew from our Scottish Wildlife Trust reserve at Bankhead Moss. Unfortunately climate change and encroachment by birch are a real challenge to lowland peat bogs like this #FifeWildlife #ClimateChange #botany @iucn-uk-peat.bsky.social @scotwildlife.bsky.social

It’s always worth scanning the fields at this time of year. This nice flock of thirty golden plovers has been hanging around for a couple of weeks. #Fife #Fifewildlife #waders #winter #birdingScotland

Plenty of hawthorn berries on our Fleecefaulds Meadow reserve for the redwings and fieldfares this winter #berries #ScottishWildlifeTrust #winter @scottishbirding.bsky.social #Fifewildlife #Fife

Some fine #fungi in #Fife this #autumn. This, I think, is Coprinellus micaceous in early and late stages. Its common names include mica cap, glistening inky cap and shiny cap. #Fifewildlife

Today’s work party on our Bankhead Moss reserve in #Fife cleared birch saplings from the central dome of the raised peak bog where they had been encroaching #Fifewildlife #conservation #peatbogs

This morning’s roe deer. Nice to look at but can cause a lot of damage to crops and young trees. Numbers have increased a lot in recent years with up to twenty often seen on my walk around here, usually in groups of three.

Jelly Ear #fungus, abundant in #Fife at this time of year and most frequently found on dead elder branches. Reportedly edible but apparently very rubbery. I’m not tempted.

Water levels are at record low levels in parts of Fife. One of our members recorded this otter walking along a dried out burn where they would usually be playing in the water. #globalwarming #Fifewildlife #otters #drought #climatechange

Ivy flowers still attracting lots of insects in this part of Fife.
