Today's most adorable visitor is this little Superb Fairy Wren.

These tiny birds travel in groups of 5 to 20ish hopping about & hunting for insects. When we cut fallen trees for firewood we leave all the spindly bits in piles, which the wrens love as a sheltered place full of insects. Wouldn't want to be eaten by yesterday's goshawk!

A while back, I posted these cute little chocolate custard people fungi but couldn't work out what they were. Turns out they are Ascocoryne sarcoides (Purple Jellydisc) and they exist in many parts of the world.

They're tricky little things because they come in two distinctly different forms:
- Purple discs
- Little custard people that come in strawberry or chocolate variety Note: 'chocolate', 'strawberry' and 'custard' refer to appearance, not edibility or flavour.

I found some discs but no strawberry people. Looking at these two photos side-by-side you wouldn't guess they are the same species.

So, over the past 10 days I've managed to post photos of fungi in every single colour. Alls that left are those without much colour at all. Transparent and semitransparent fungi!

For anyone who's interested, I have published every species I've found on my land at tasforest.com/intheforest/Fung - currently 200ish species.

By the way, blue was the most popular colour, followed by black/grey and then pink.
