Woburn Fungi

Home this evening after a great family break at Woburn Centre Parcs celebrating my youngest sister-in-law's 40th. As usual at family gatherings / Centre Parcs, I've enjoyed the water slides and rapids, eating too much and drinking far too much. I also managed to watch LCFC give the Villa a pasting with a pint or three on Sunday afternoon in the Sports Bar whilst the girls were in the Spa.

The lodge we were in, as they usually do, had a number of habitualised Grey Squirrels and tits loitering for an easy feed making breakfast times entertaining. We had a number of Pheasants and Red-legged Partidges knocking about, and aside from the many squirrels we had a visting Muntjac and a Stoat running about our patio. The lake had the usual ducks, Coots and Moorhens (including a weird albinistic individual), and a few Little Grebes that were clearly very used to people.

Like all Centre Parcs, Woburn has a bit of woodland to walk around and I found myself a quiet hour or so on Saturday morning too have a leisurely mooch about with a camera. The bit I was in was mainly damp birch and sycamore; nothing too exciting bird-wise apart from Green Woodpecker and Common Buzzard, but the many fallen and cut logs left around were housing a fair bit of fungal interest.
