Does anyone know what these strange looking fungi are?[ATTACH][ATTACH]

I just looked now, and its tail is bobbing up and down. Definitely a Pied Wagtail.Thanks, it is lovely to know what these birds are, and to...
I will watch out to see if its tail bobs up and down. The past few days I haven't had time to observe. I am almost certain it is a pied wagtail.
I am sure it is a Pied Wagtail. I have been needing to pay attention to other things so haven't been watching the birds closely, but I think when...

@NigelJ, that is useful information that Crocuses need to be 10 degrees Celsius to open fully. Part of my garden gets a lot of shade and up until...
I noticed that some crocuses were open today, and that they have a lot of pollen. I have wondered for a long time how winter flowers get...
@Balc, open yellow crocuses are awe-inspiringly beautiful. I noticed the first one a couple of days ago, unexpectedly from the depths of winter...
