19 May 2025

I played the front nine of the Blue this evening.   This large bracket fungus is growing on one of the willows by the second tee.  I think that it is Dryad' Saddle - sometimes called pheasant’s back because the brown scales on top give the appearance of a pheasant’s plumage

There are two types of geese commonly found at Frilford.  Canada Geese are the most common.  There were 8 of them next to the 8th tee today.  4 of them joined me on tee, bravely standing directly in front - presumably to get a good view of my swing.

The other geese that are commonly on the course are Greylag Geese.   In April I came across this individual on the 4th that looks like a hybrid between the two species:
