A different view of a Comma (Polygonia c-album) butterfly. With its wings closed, the comma is perfectly camouflaged in its favoured woodland habitat. This underside view also shows how the comma gets its name - from the white 'comma-shaped' marking on the underside. This one was sat on a rusty old trailer at Fingrinhoe Nature Reserve in Essex.

Many of these were found growing on rotten wood that was partially buried in dead leaves. There are many different species. At the present time it has not been possible to assign to species level.
Seen growing on Dead Birch trunks at Fingrinhoe Wick Nature Reserve, Essex. A common species across the Uk. Tough enough to resist frosts, can last for months.
This delicate fungus is one of 102 species that are found in the Uk. I will be unable to assign to species as this involves structural as well as pollen analysis.

This little village in Essex has one of the most lurid names. We got some of the locals breaking sweats and giggling, trying to describe how to get to Fingrinhoe. Hmm.
