Churwell Urban Woodlands

I had a couple of quick walks around the woods before work this week, heading towards the dipping pond one day and then the through the main woods the next. Both mornings there were squirrels everywhere.

Lots of birds on both days - Blackbirds, Wrens, Robins, Great, Blue, Long-tailed Tits, Dunnocks, Woodpigeons, Chaffinch, Nuthatch, 2 Jays, Magpies, Crows and a pair of Mistle Thrush flying overhead.

Some Woodpigeons seem to manage without their head.......

I saw a couple of different fungi though I spent most of my time looking up into the trees.

With the leaves falling now it's easier to see the surrounding houses of course but I noticed this view through a gap in one of the trees - the view towards Leeds city centre.
