Wanderings through an estate [pic heavy]

[Pandabean]

I decided to visit the nearby estate last weekend as it has quite a lot of deciduous woodland. The main reason for going out was to look for fungi, mainly cramp balls, buts alas I have still to find some.

On the way there I decided to visit my nearby bit of woods and there was a little covering of frozen snow and plenty of animal prints.

Some rabbit prints...



Roe deer...


Cat?? and rabbit prints


Surely this rabbit must have ended up dizy whilst hopping around.


Seems someones been out with the shotgun..


Looking up....





Its just typical at times like these I don't bring the big camera, which would have managed to get a nice clean picture of this little roe deer.



Would this have been created be a deer and what would it have been up to?



Eventually I did come upon some fungi.... Would this be Turkey Tail?



Heading home..


I love the bark on this tree. Would this be Ash per chance?



Seems someone abandoned this chicken coop, the lodge nearby is up for sale so would make sense.

Thanks nuggets. Does it always peel in that way?

When they are older they normally do.
