Autumn fruit and nuts......
A trip to the Elan Valley in mid-Wales showed once again that autumn is well and truly under way in the natural world.
After several days of above average temperatures it was pleasant enough in the hills.
The area is truly a marvellous place for both scenery and wildlife, vast man made reservoirs seem to just "fit in" to the landscape and the surrounding mix of deciduous and conifer plantations as well as some outstanding moorland blend so well.

It was the variety of berries on show as well as a few nuts and fungi that highlighted the beauty of this time of year.
