I went for a walk in the New Forest this morning to look for some fungi but there were very few about I think that even though it is prohibited in the National Park that they had been “collected” – It has become an issue in recent years as commercial quantities are being taken and sold on.
However, not all was lost as I enjoyed watching this Nuthatch.
Length: 14 cm Wingspan: 22.5-27 cm Weight: 20-25 g UK breeding: 220.000. {facts from RSPB}
Continued Reflections from my World. 
love the shots Andy!
So you are saying that people are foraging for mushrooms and selling them? What are the ones they are mostly searching for?

No sure which ones but lots of signs up saying no collecting. A few years it became big business foraging gangs stripping areas. 🍄 Mushroom poaching !
