Autumn Mists at Golden Grove


Went for a nice walk at the Arboretum near Temple Bar Carmarthenshire. The light was striking as were the leaf colours en masse and individually. There were lots of toadstools (e.g. Mycena galericulata) and bracket fungi (e.g. Coriolus versicolor). In spite of the cold, Fresh flies (Sarcophaga carnaria) sunned themselves on tree trunks. There was also lots of feeding by antlered Fallow deer (Cervus dama) stags, especially enjoying chestnuts.
