It may well be.
Ysgwydd amryliw - Many zoned polypore. (which will darken with age).
An image of the underside would help to be sure (white with many many tiny pores).
If the underside is grey with a white edge then it is another species for which i do not have a welsh name.
(i will try to get some comparison photo’s tomorrow).
So i approach the supermarket trolley area (nothing unusual in that).
Trolleys need a pound coin but plenty of token of the right size seem to being used these days
and there is one lying on the ground (not to unusual, i have a few).
I pick up the token and wow it has a dragon on it (probably not to unusual in Wales).
But this is Newbury, so what are the odds of someone from Wales loosing a token here and me picking it up (spooky).
And i tried photographing gulls in flight today (need more luck or practice but it’s a start).
Reminded of:-
I used to keep a small telescope at my ‘auntie’s’ on Gower. One night, I’d said, “No use setting it up, it’s so cloudy I won’t see anything!” A little time later, she called excitedly that the sky had cleared. I went and got the 'scope, went to set it up outside and found that the clouds were scudding like the clappers and I couldn’t even see the moon!! My ‘auntie’ had been quite right, but it only cleared for about 5 minutes!!
I have put my Vocabulary List in a Google Doc and put it in its own thread since I can no longer edit my original post. We’ll see how this works out. Post is titled Geirfa Natur Cymraeg.
Cedyll coch - Kestrel.
I still have not got close enough to one of these for a decent photo, what may be interesting in the photo above is to look down the right hand edge and notice one of the small birds that were creating plenty of noise due to this bird being in their area. (i think it was a ji - binc - chaffinch but is not clear enough in the photo to be sure).
It snowed on the hills yesterday, so the hills of Mull have vanished in the haze this morning. It was white all over yesterday with frost, but this morning it is much more dangerous, as all paths are covered with black ice!!
We had snow yesterday morning - which only accumulated on the grass, not on the roads at all. Then the sun came out and there are only bits left here and there in shady spots.
I now have winter feeder set up in different tree to last year with the hope of getting better photo’s of old favorites and some new species.
The Nuthatch has soon found the feeder but seems curious about my presence (i was surprised at how relaxed this species became last year at coming near me, suggesting, peanuts are more attractive than i am fearsome).
Oh I don’t think I’ve seen a nuthatch! We get woodpeckers in winter, usually small (green? lesser spotted?) ones, but the other day a big one came, I think he/she may have been greater spotted. Unfortunately the day was so dark the photos make it almost impossible to see him in the gloom!!
iâr ddŵr - Moorhen.
One photo from today that made me think about the colour description of wildlife, yellow legs hardly does them justice. The same is true of many species.
