Fernworthy Forest

Same route, same time, much the same weather – hardly any birds at all today although there were lots of Bibionids for fly aficionados. I decided to follow a stream all the way through darkest forest and came across a surreal campsite – all very Sylvanian Families. It shouldn’t be there but it entertained me anyway. Apart from that, a young chiffchaff (?) and its parent, a two-banded longhorn beetle, a face in a dead tree and a slightly puzzling cocoon-like structure made of a dead leaf (looking at the photo, it looks like it’s got a leg with a ferocious claw coming out of it).
