The year proceeds

Still no sign of lizards for me on this warm and muggy day, although I saw enough to satisfy me whilst on holiday in Malta recently. There are signs that the summer is starting to wind down however; I found the attached puffball fungi on School Common this morning. Several dragonflies on display, but not much else of note to see, although I did find a kestrel  alarming the residents on the Jubilee boardwalk. It's very unusual to find a kestrel in woodland, so perhaps it was an inexperienced youngster.
