A few fungi and a lack of Harlequin Ladybirds

This autumn does not seem a good year for fungi, probably due to the near drought conditions we have experienced over the last couple of months however took these few shots in the park this morning - no idea what they are.  The trees are slowly turning some ahead of others - the Lime Trees are turning an acid yellow, the Sycamores are mostly brown due to the lack of rain but the Beech trees and a number of the ornamentals are turning a nice orangey tone. Lots of bird activity particularly migrant thrushes with plenty of Redwings in, a  first Fieldfare, 10+ Mistle Thrush and double the numbers of our usual Song Thrushes and Blackbirds.  Talking of migration I'm told that today the UK has been inundated with Harlequin Ladybirds. The harlequin ladybird is an Asiatic species that was introduced to Europe as a biological control agent.  It was also introduced to North America in 1988, where it is now the most widespread ladybird species on the continent. It has already invaded much of northwestern Europe, and arrived in Britain in summer 2004. A voracious predator it devours greenfly and even our native Ladybird - I have covered all the park this morning and searched our garden but haven't managed to find one - thank goodness!
