Just noticed that on no 17 there are two types of plant. The main one in the middle, but extra kudos if you can tell me the other..

It is hard, yes.. But like I say, if you know any, or even if you think you know, have a go. It may help out others..

1. Chicken of the woods.
2. Little brown fluffy one, no good for eating!
3. Knackered dragonfly having a kip. Sex? Yeah, five minutes ago, hence the reason it's resting!
4. Plant is ragwort. I saw these at the Moot. Ragwort caterpillars? No, that's not it!
5. Hornet.
6. Some sort of umbellifer. No idea which though.
7. Another brown bird not worth eating.
8. Stripey, female (Well, can you see anything dangling between its' legs?!)
9. I'd say ash, but then my tree recognition is on a par with bird recognition!
10. Big grey ones.
11. Cool ultra violet moth.
12. Colts foot?
13. Greater plantain.
14. One of the woodpeckers, I'd say lesser spotted but it's a guess. Male, another guess!
15. ?
16. Jay?
17. Adders tongue? I'm sure I saw this on a Titchmarsh programme at the weekend!
18. Wood ants' nest.
19. I thought celandine, but now I'm not too sure. I thought that grew in woodlands in the shade.
20. Some sort of apple? God, I'm really doing bad here aren't I!
21. Dunno, but do i get a half pint for the other bird? Coot or moorhen, cannot say for sure as I can't see the front of the head!
22. Teasle? I seem to recall that name for some reason, I saw them at the moot and Addo has some hanging in his kitchen!
23. Water vole?
24. Yew?
25. Woodcock.
26. A marsh something or other? Not edible!
27. Collared dove. You can eat that!
28. No idea!
29. I can never tell, stoat or weasel? I guess a Stoat!
30. May fly? I think that's its' name, whatever it is you will hear it before you see it and you will feel it crashing into you before you see it too!
