Magpie. (Pica pica). Part of the Crow family.
I often see around half a dozen magpies locally. In pairs and singular. Their sound is very distinctive at any time of the day. They certainly make their presence known to other birds. Clever, intelligent birds, some say they are able to mimic sounds. I wonder if they mimic the sound of other birds as some kind of defence mechanism or predatory reasons?

Magpies are on the Green list. Species on the green list are the least critical group.

My garden. The Fern leisurely awakens, unfurling from hibernation.
Best viewed full screen. Looks far better on a PC/Laptop monitor.
The ferns in my garden are steadily unfolding. Now's the perfect time to capture some macro shots.

Red Robin Tree (Photinia × fraseri) in my garden.
Initially looks like it's sun scorched. As the leaves emerge and expand the tips 'die' only to be replaced by new growth.
Sometimes known as Christmas berry 'Red Robin' and from the Rosaceae family.
Tiny Grass flower in my lawn.

Fern (Polypodiopsida).
Fern is widespread and often overlooked to some degree. With the advent of Spring they begin their new growth. Fascinating to capture the macro moments and colours they hold at this stage.
National Trust. Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire. Autumn 2022.
A selection of shots taken at The National Trust's Clumber Park, capturing a hint of Autumn towards the end of November, late afternoon as Dusk was falling.
Clumber Park is a beautiful expanse of parkland, heath and woods covering more than 3,800 acres. It offers freedom to discover a ducal park - explore picturesque parkland and gardens, peaceful woodlands and a magnificent lake. Not only is Clumber's mosaic of habitats home to an amazing array of wildlife, it is listed Grade I on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

The embers of a Farewell Daffodil (Narcissus), from my garden. Sadly bowing out for this season. Yet it eeks out beauty in macro.

Seen this fella lurking in my garden. European Garden Spider (Araneus Diadematus)
Shot freehand, a little closer than I actually wanted to be. It's core web was around 18 inches with the anchors reaching out some 3-4 feet away.
Old Man's Beard (Clematis Vitalba). Also known as, Traveller’s Joy and Scrambles.
Like other members of the Clematis genus, old man's beard or traveller's joy climbs (or scrambles ) over other plants using its leaf stalks (petioles) and flower stalks. The leaves are not unlike the familiar garden forms of Clematis. The leaf stalks entwine around any convenient support / structure in their vicinity and then lignify (become woody).
The leaves are described as opposite and 1-pinnate, that is, they have one pair of leaflets opposite to each other plus one terminal leaflet.
As the plant grows and matures, it forms woody stems which can be as thick as a wrist; the plant can grow to a height of 40 feet or more.
The flowers appear in August and September. When the plant has finished flowering, the developing seeds (known as achenes - an achene is a one seeded fruit) retain part of the flower – the style. This has long, silky hairs, which form the grey tufted balls that are so conspicuous in some woodlands and hedgerows in autumn and winter. These are, indeed, the 'old man's beard'. These silky structures are important in the dispersal of the seeds.
Seen at Attenborough Nature Reserve, Nottingham.

A macro capture of Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum Sativus Group; syn. D. sativus) with its beautiful sculptural form and seed head in autumn. I really like their form and have a little fascination for them.
Teasel was used in wool “fleecing” (raising the nap on woolen cloth) and was used in textile processing, providing a natural comb for cleaning, aligning and raising the nap on fabrics. A valued horticulture plant which led to its introduction in North America as early as the 1700s.

Everything parks and gardens had to be documented at Clumber. Times change, how things are recorded ebb and flow, but good old QWERTY is still King.

The Photinia Red Robin, also known as "Christmas berry 'Red Robin' (Photinia × fraseri), I have is looking marvellous as ever right now. Here you can see panicles of small white flowers with an (unknown) insect wandering around.
It's a hardy evergreen and I tend to prune it to a height of about 5 feet.

Burdock (Arctium Minus). Here towards the end of its season.
The Burdock is a very common wild food plant found across the UK and again like lots of edible Wild Plants is considered a weed. The Burdock is found all over the UK and likes grassland, woodland, hedgerows and wastelands that are relatively untouched by human hand so that it can complete its two year lifecycle. The Burdock can get quite large during is two years and sometimes hits nearly 2 metres in height.
Seen at Attenborough Nature Reserve, Nottingham.

In Ithe woodland there's a little spider who's created his web of deceit. Now he waits patiently for his friend(s) to come knocking.

Seen this little fella while at Clifton Grove Local Nature Reserve, Nottinghamshire.
[it's a still from a video file]
It is one of the commonest garden butterflies, found throughout lowland England and Wales with a wingspan of 63mm. It's unmistakable, with quite spectacular eyes on the upperside of the hindwings that give this butterfly its name. These eyes must appear very threatening to predators, such as mice, that confront this butterfly head-on, where the body forming a "beak".

Another from my garden. Perhaps my favourite flower. A burst of sunshine yellow to add to the colourful fauna at this time of year!
The perennial Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii ‘Goldsturm’. You may know it with another name, Coneflowers, Asteraceae, Black Eyed Susans, Rudbeckia Fulgida, Goldsturm.
