After the storm

On a calm day, following the storm, I wandered round the wood and was pleasantly surprised to find very little damage. A few branch had broken off some of  the big trees in the hedgerow  but otherwise, everything was fine.
Seeds,berries and autumnal leaves decorated  the woodland

The mature, coppiced ash trees all look well and free from die back and have a huge crop of seeds dangling from their branches.

I couldn't find many  fungi and nearly missed this tiny one that was hidden in the grass along one of the rides.
