I walked round the Frilford estate in the sunshine this weekend.  If you go over the green on the 1st Blue you may come across this fungus which is called 'Chicken of the Woods'.  The name refers to its taste and texture which apparently resemble chicken - although it doesn't look too appetising to me.

I came across this Willow Warbler on the 4th Blue.  I haven't heard many this spring, but I have seen a couple over the weekend.   There are also a lot of Blackcaps and Whitethroats singing around the course at the moment.
