I was still resting on the bench at the Fishermans Car Park in the Anglers Walk LNR when a mallard began to swim across the river, floating downstream as she did so. Following her were nine ducklings, looking like they had not long emerged from their eggs, all in a line.
Common wintercress flowering by the footpath in Anglers Walk. Apparently quite a common English wildflower, but not one I can recall ever noticing before.
I was sitting on one of the benches at the Fishermans Car Park, taking a much-needed rest after walking the length of the riverside path through the Anglers Walk nature reserve. One of the carrion crow denizens walked up to where the river had formed a shallow pool by the bank, then spent some time drinking.
A dense clump of snowdrop anemones (not, as I thought, a low shrub) in the garden of New Place in Stratford on Avon.
A female orange tip butterfly on what are possibly common wintercress flowers. I wasn’t sure whether she was feeding, or advertising her presence for any males in the area.
Broom bush in the garden of New Place at Stratford on Avon with red flowers instead of the usual yellow.
