Ivy Bee in house, fungi & Southwold
On Sunday 3rd November, a Bee buzzing around the kitchen window proved to be an Ivy Bee that I let outside straight away, although thinking about I should have got some pictures first, a new species for me! A large bit of Fungi was seen and photographed in the garden along the western fence line and a look around Southward Churchyard produced 2 Goldcrests, a Chiff- Chaff, around 10 Goldfinches and a surprise very late Painted Lady that flew onto a gravestone at 2.50pm then flew south. all the birds scattered and a female Sparrowhawk flew west overhead. Not the hoped for Firecrest. I looked around Belle Vue Park and the ravine around 3.15pm but failed to see Firecrest here either.


Hi Peter, your fungi looks like Chlorophyllum brunneum (a close relative of the Shaggy Parasol).
