These are Autumn poppy heads before they have started to rot away and all the lovely reflections and forms you see on their skin.
I have also hidden a little camouflaged friend as poppy heads with their seeds are crucial food for the birds who hang and pull them over as their seeds drop out so they can eat them.
Gardeners are too keen to tidy seeds heads are great fuel for the birds throughout the colder months. The bird here is of no particular species and is camouflaged and smaller so the dead heads take priority in the picture ready to be picked and thrown aside.
