Brandy Hole Copse in Autumn

Holly berries
On this sunny morning we decided to visit Brandy Hole Copse, a nature reserve just north of Chichester. 
I rolled a log over and a small mammal dashed away from this nest. I replaced the log carefully.

Yesterday this Early Anglo-Saxon sceatta was found by a club member. A similar one is recorded on the PAS database: http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/427208
A trip to Cissbury Ring was notable not for butterflies but for six Butterfly Conservation members futilely seeking Clouded Yellows.
