A jay (sgrech y coed - screech of the woods!) flew alongside me for maybe fifty metres on my drive to work this morning. Magical!
What an excellent onomatopoeic Welsh name 
We often see and hear Jay’s in the woods round YM. I love the colourful streak as they fly past. You could almost name a baseball team after them 
JI BINC: chaffinch
I’ve seen a number of shops - clothes and a café - with this name in Wales: don’t know if this bird has any significance in Wales…Great name though and it’s great to say.
Good addition Kim,
i didn’t find what i was looking for today but there is always something to see (and i didn’t get wet).

Well, something a little different.
Maybe a dual language sign is not too unusual, but this was at the rail crossing in Thatcham
Berkshire, are these creeping across the country to raise language interest?
Cheers J.P.
Soon now John! So soon…
And then, the world…
Perhaps a range of garden gate signs in the style of
Byddwch yn ofalus o’r gwningen
might be a good idea.
Cheers J.P.
I got a book by Dewi Prysor called Crawia
Crawia’s my favourite Welsh book, Maynard: I’m constantly mining it. It’s been a gold mine for tuning my ear to, the language I hear on the streets of Gwynedd and for not being too self-conscious how I use it in the wild. It’s been a great belly laugh as I decipher the local dialect…larff garantîd
Coden fwg.
Lycoperdon perlatum.

Here’s one for the mycologists. These fungi have appeared in my garden on a square of well rotted wood chippings (mostly Cypress). I include a closeup with one fungus turned over as well as the general configuration. I’d appreciate identification in Welsh or Latin (even English) 
Firstly, excellent photo’s with one upside down it narrows the possibilities greatly,
as i can see the fungi have gills (not all do) and the gills are slightly attached to the stem,
(many are not), the stem looks narrow and fibrous, not thick or brittle and no stump at the base.
So most likely Tubaria furfuracea (i know of no name in English or Welsh).
there a couple of close relatives that need microscope to check spore size
for difference but the above is most common.
Many thanks for your input.
Cheers J.P.
Gwyach fawr gopog.
Great crested grebe.
These are really difficult to get near so distant photo was the best i could get.
Now for ID mystery (too me).
Is it a pair or adult and young i don’t know but i intend to find out.
cheers J.P.
Good call J.P. especially since I Googled your suggestion and found it’s
Solitary to gregarious on woody debris, e.g., sticks, bark, wood chips, sawdust etc.; fruiting from early fall to late winter.
The page http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Tubaria_furfuracea.html gives it the name “California Fungi”.
