It's not Autumn without a snoozing Dormouse!
The last of 2025's Denbighshire Dormouse surveys...good numbers found & it would appear that it's been a good breeding season for them,🤞for a safe uninterrupted hibernation. #Dormice #Denbighshire

Mersey #LeachsPetrel fest today; always tougher to connect upstream compared with the action in the river mouth; yet a Leach's, Kittiwake & 5 Com Scoter off the Brittania was a decent haul early PM; topped off with a Leach's at dusk from Otterspool prom @mbblerc.bsky.social #UKBIRDING #Lancsbirding

Licenced #Dormouse surveys in #Denbighshire today. Looks to have been a good breeding season for them, with plenty found, including a female with an active litter bouncing about!
Also the lovely Magpie Inkcap #fungi, the first time that I've seen this species, which isnt that common.
