Wolves Wild

Jackdaw, or perhaps more than one jackdaw. Three were wandering along the riverside road in Bewdley in the morning, before the crowds had built up. They kept a little too far apart for me to get a group picture.

Another of the plants around the small pond in the museum at Bewdley: pickerelweed. Apparently, it’s originally American, and popular for planting at the edge of garden ponds.

Traces of the original blue of the flowers were still visible when we were there.

A large pond with a mass of waterlilies and other aquatic plants is the centrepiece of Bewdley’s Jubilee Gardens. The pond also has a school of goldfish, some of them variant colours.

In the same grounds, there’s an enclosed garden at the back of the town museum. It also has a small pond with waterlilies among its other attractions.

Honeysuckle with ripening berries while some flowers remain open. By the riverside road at Bewdley (strictly speaking, at Wribbenhall, on the opposite side of the river).

Black-headed gulls, one an adult, the other possibly a juvenile.

They were taking a break standing on rocks in the Severn at Bewdley, exposed by the current low water levels.

Another plant growing from near the top of the river wall a the Severn passed through Bewdley. The yarrow, like the tansy, was flowering during our visit.
