Penny Bun

Went out at dawn this morning up onto the moors principally to see what birds were about. We are approaching the time of what birders call vis mig, I assume because they are too idle to say visible migration. ;-}. There was a lot more around that on my last visit up there; lots of meadow pipits, a number of raptors, the only one I could confidently identify being a kestrel, grouse, starlings, lots of swallows, thrushes, and other stuff that I couldn't identify. On the mammal front, I saw a stoat and a brown hare, and although I hadn't intended to do any shrooming, I came across a wonderful patch of penny buns on my way back to the car, and another patch of bay boletes. I spent the rest of the day cooking - mushroom bakes and apple cakes.

So if anyone out there wondered where I took my nom d'internet from, now you know :-)
