After some searching, the most likely match was the male Dark Bush Cricket Pholidoptera griseoaptera. An umpire's view would be welcome on this.
In the woodland a variety of fungi were on display including Golden and Shaggy Pholiota, Puffball, Bracket and Sulphur Tuft.
I believe this one is a Golden Pholiota that is exuding sap from the host tree. It seems to serve as a sticky trap for insects that land on it

Hello Ray,
Do you know the scientific name for the Golden Pholiota?
Is it Pholiota aurivelli. I have just looked it up on my own web page.

I spelt it incorrectly. It should be
Pholiota aurivella
