Witch and worm

I found a worm climbing a tree. This  species is not the common earthworm but is similar. They are often referred to as eel worms and can grow to forty centimeters in length. Here they live in the ancient oak woodland and when it rains heavily for hours they emerge and move across the forest floor.

This species has a yellow tail tip.

Some interesting fungi such as this  witches butter (Exida plana) on dead beach sticks have been fruiting.                                                               .

hibernating common garden snails(helix aspersa) have not yet dared emerge. Here a few are nestled inside the trunk of an ancient yew tree.
