WILDLIFE REPORTS
 

18 November 2008
A flock of about twenty Long-tailed Tits landed in a smallish leafless deciduous tree at the northern end of Gordon Avenue in  Shoreham town, and then they flew in a north-easterly direction over the Hamm Road Allotments before I could get my camera out. 

16 November 2008
A Red Admiral Butterfly fluttered around the south-facing shop fronts at the western end of Shoreham High Street around midday.
 
16 November 2008

This mushroom was discovered on the edge of the meadow to the north of the upper car park on Mill Hill, believed to be the White Dapperling, Leucoagaricus leucothites. I do not think that the common name is actually used for this frequently encountered species?

12 November 2008
A Red Admiral Butterfly fluttered over the twitten between Gordon Avenue and Nicolson Drive in Shoreham next to Hamm Road Allotments. It came as a great surprise to me to see a large yellow Brimstone Butterfly fly over the top meadow (north of the upper car park) on Mill Hill. It flew strongly in the direction of New Erringham. This was the first Brimstone Butterfly recorded in the month of November on these Nature Notes pages. Five minutes later a Speckled Wood Butterfly fluttered amongst the long grass south of the Reservoir on Mill Hill.

The red covering on the steep banks of both sides of Mill Hill Cutting were the leaves of Cotoneaster more than the berries, with the large scrub of Wayfaring Tree
