A study in scarlet

On the right, the scarlet elf cup (Sarcoscypha coccinea), a common fungus in damp woodland at this time of year, to be found growing on soggy fallen timber - in this case a mossy log in a stream.

On the left, the scarlet-coated terrier (Canis iacrussellensis var. rubens), again, not uncommon in this area although the green-coated version is also seen (Canis iacrussellensis var. viridis)
