Shaggy Inkcap (Coprinus comatus) in Stockhill Wood - a fresh mushroom and an older old one, growing next to each other. The fruiting bodies of inkcaps turn to into an inky substance as they get older.

White tailed sea eagle - older posting

Juvenile grey heron.

He's trying hard to be a great hunter, but is sticking with smaller prey just for now and isn't too bothered by humans.

I love that you see the small differences with the adult above in this photo. The youngsters always seem slightly messier.
