Beautiful alchemy in action on the Quantocks this morning… the wonder of hair ice.It is associated with the presence of the fungus Exidiopsis effusa within decomposing wood. It has a component which stabilises the ice in the hair form as it extends from the pores of the wood, only occurring at a specific moisture level, temperature and temperature differential between the wood and air.#quantocks #quantockhills #hairice #wondersofnature

Maybe no snow but plenty of wintery scenes on the Quantocks for the first day of meteorological winter ❄️ 🥶

What a beautiful Quantock morning as the mist lifted around Hares Knapp and Hodderscombe, leaving bejewelled cobwebs in its wake 🕸️ .
Spotting a fantastic minotaur beetle, fox moth caterpillar and some lovely fungi too.#quantocks #quantockhills #cobwebs #minotaurbeetle #foxmoth #lovethequantocks #quantockwalks #somersetlife #somersetwalking #fungi

The heather is looking wonderful on the hills at the moment, giving them a wonderful pink hue.

All three types of heather found in the UK can be seen on the Quantocks - common heather or ling (Calluna vulgaris), bell heather (Erica cinerea) and cross-leaved heath (Erica tetralix). See if you can spot all three on your next visit 😊 - if you’re unsure the iNaturalist app can help with ID from a photograph not only for Heather but any living things you see 😊

A white ball about the size of polystyrene travelling through the woodland grass 🤔… a wolf-spider with her silk egg-sac 😊

Female wolf spiders carry around their egg-sac attached to their spinnerets at the back of their abdomen until their spiderlings are ready to hatch; they then carry them around on top of their abdomen until the spiderlings disperse using silk ‘parachutes’ to float away on the wind 🪂 🕷️. #wolfspider #quantocks #quantockwildlifewatch #quantockshills
