Ten of my favourite photos I took in October 2023 and month summary

The photos are of; fly agaric at Bolton's Bench in the New Forest, mushrooms at Pig Bush in the New Forest, dandelions out the front, Common Darter at Winnall Moors, Clouded Yellow out the front, Common Lizard at Bolderwood in the New Forest, New Forest Ponies at Leaden Hall, Mistle Thrush at Lakeside Country Park, a sky scene at Lakeside and autumn leaves in Winchester.

October seemed to fly by and it was a brilliant month of wildlife watching and taking photos again for me. It was a real surge into autumn with the vibrant, colourful and nourishing scenes as the coloured leaves put on their showstopping display, the flamboyant and fascinating mushrooms of fungi dominated and the rich golden angles of sunlight enchanted the month. Fungi was a key point of my October, as I was fortunate to see some of the key species of my year ones I always strive to see including fly agaric, amethyst deceiver, shaggy ink cap, common ink cap, pleated ink cap, yellow stagshorn, sulphur tuft, shaggy scalycap, parasol, poronia punctata (nail fungus) and turkey tail. Common puffball and the revelation of my autumn common earthball as well as a new one for me bleeding fairy helmet were other highlights of the many seen this month. For flowers the year naturally slowed down a bit, but species such as devil's bit scabious, daisy, oxeye daisy, Michaelmas daisy, dandelion, oxtongue one I loved delving into more this month, common toadflax, broad-leaved clover, white clover, white deadnettle, flowering gorse, bits of heather still in flower, hedgerow crane's-bill and tormentil brought beautiful colour to my walks still. As did rose hips, hawthorn and particularly holly berries this month as perhaps my best ever season for enjoying fruit continued. The colour of berry laden bushes and autumnal flair presented many fantastic opportunities to take in and photograph landscapes this month, with some gorgeous locations visited including lots in the New Forest which comes alive in autumn. From ever earlier sun setting and some sun rising scenes to the moon and rainbows in changeable weather it's been a top sky month for me too.

It was a fabulous insect month still with including in bits of unseasonably warm and sunny weather the Clouded Yellow being joined by one of the stars of the year Red Admiral with many seen again this month, Speckled Wood, Peacock, Brimstone and Small Copper with a pleasing amount of butterflies still about with a moth or two too which has been a key theme this month. Common Darter, Southern Hawker and Migrant Hawker continued to be very frequent sights for me this month having amazing experiences watching them, particularly at Winnall Moors and Lakeside. The Common Lizard alongside ladybirds and many spiders especially Long-bodied Cellar spiders with a fair few seen at home were highlights in other areas.

Onto birds and I had a brilliant month of thrushes, most excitingly witnessing the anticipated return of the Redwings at Lakeside and in the New Forest, a stalwart of the months ahead. The Mistle Thrush at Lakeside a key sighting this month, and away from thrushes there the Lesser Redpolls of the same day, Goldfinch, Cormorant, Buzzard, lots of Coots, the Ring-necked Parakeets, Long-tailed Tits enjoyed many times, Mute Swans, Jay enjoyed so many time another really key species of autumn and multiple Great Spotted Woodpecker and some Green Woodpecker views were other Lakeside highlights. Sparrowhawk, a wonderful couple of New Forest Woodlark sightings and Marsh Tit were other standouts this month. Finally onto mammals and alongside many great New Forest ponies and Fallow Deer encounters either seeing them or hearing the males bellow in the forest the big thing this month was seeing pigs out for pannage at Pig Bush and on journeys, the always surreal and marvelous site at this time of year as the New Forest commoner's turn out the pigs to gorge on the (harmful to ponies) acorns. Grey Squirrels and a magical Roe Deer encounter at Lakeside also stood out. Have a good November all.

04/10/23-Lakeside and home

Photos taken in this set: 1. A bright and beautiful Brimstone which I got brilliant views of on the laurel hedge around the bowl, an exciting moment getting quite rare intimate views of it landed. A lovely moment with what was my first butterfly species of the year and a star of it. It shall be interesting to see if I see an increase in butterflies about if the predicted higher temperatures come. 2. Lovely bee on bright purple lavender in the sun in the front garden. 3. Beautiful Goldfinch in the garden in the evening sun. 4. Geraniums, other plants in a hanging basket, fuchsia and sedum looking colourful in the garden. 5, 8, 9 and 10. Great views at Lakeside including nice sky scenes. 6. A beautiful male Common Darter I enjoyed seeing on the wood of the bridge north west of Lakeside. 7. Pretty hogweed seed heads.

Two House Martins overhead likely passing through, it feels like yesterday I was excitedly seeing my first of the year here in March and I've had a good year for them here and elsewhere, alongside Grey Wagtail briefly seen on Monks Brook were key bird sightings in a nice varied list seen at Lakeside. Great, Blue and Long-tailed Tit including together in a tree north west of Lakeside, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Moorhen and Great Crested Grebes were other highlights with Starling, House Sparrow and Collared Dove also good to see at home. Probable Red Admiral and a fine view of a shiny hornet were other good insect moments at Lakeside. Grey Squirrel, snail, ragwort, pretty teasel in flower, bramble flower, evening primrose, vervain scarlet pimpernel and a tree full of hawthorn berries were also good to see. I also enjoyed seeing apples strewn over the woodland floor at Lakeside, I took a photo of a conker I used to be fascinated by them as a kid and in autumn would collect them in a jar and count them sometimes.

Bantam Guar

"Out of fatigue, I collapsed near a village and lost my consciousness. When I came to, I was surrounded by Bantam Guars stepping around me, and one had even chosen my chest as a spot for a hearty nap. I decided to stay there for a while, my exhausted soul being healed by the small creatures around me." - Seeks-For-Knowledge

Bantam Guar are small, docile creatures hailing from Morrowind, though variations of Bantam Guar can be encountered in Oblivion as well. Despite being called Bantam Guar, they share no relation to Guar. Instead, they are closer to Cliff Racers and Cliff Darters. Despite this connection, Bantam Guar are unable to fly.

Uses Bantam Guar are kept as pets, having even been named "the cutest creature in all Tamriel" by the Cult of the Ancestor Moth. They are also raised for their eggs and meat, similarly to chicken, to which they are commonly compared to as "ugly chickens."

Variations There exists a myriad of variations between different types of Bantam Guar. The brown-coloured ones are the most common type, but the Bantam Guar from different realms of Oblivion seem to share traits with the planes they hail from: the Deadlands Bantam Guar having a burning inner flame, whereas the Bantam Guar from Coldharbour share the cold colouring of Coldharbour itself.

Traveler's advice: Despite their docile nature and tendency to leasurely step about, if they see the need to, Bantam Guar can run at quite the fast speed. This is one of the reasons why it is important not to test the limits of a Bantam Guar's patience, no matter how harmless and calm they seem.

#tes #the elder scrolls #bantam guar #tes creatures #eso #elder scrolls online #quite the adorable creatures! though i admit i was quite surprised to bump into them in the planes of oblivion as well #makes one wonder if they originally hail from oblivion instead #and through some rift between planes came to tamriel
