This is an old factory, not used anymore, on the edge of the woodland and was frequently fodder for ghost stories when i was younger.
It's a shame really, Beech and Ash overtake the woodland, shading out beautiful trees like the Silver Birch. These Silver Birch are all dead i think.
As part of the training for Territorial Army, recruits used to have to crawl through this gap, i think it has gotten too small now though.
The mycelium network of the fungus that killed this tree. Likely to be Honey Fungus.
Tranquility, the only person in the entire woodland...
This is the only King of British Ferns (
Dryopteris affinis Cristata 'The King') that i have ever seen in local woodland, although it is indigenous as far as i know to the UK. I suspect it maybe a garden escape, but it is truly stunning and will hopefully spore itself around to vary the fern life in the woodland.
There have been a lot of falling trees over the past few weeks with the weather the way it has been and this one is new, it should continue to grow as it has effectively folded over, leaving the majority of its root system in the ground.
I have a real passion for water photography, in any form, i love the mountain streams of wales but also the gently running river that meanders through the woods across the road from our house.
