Goslings in the sidestream of the Severn along the Bylet at Bridgnorth. There’s two broods here: one of four goslings, the other of two.
The fluffy goslings are likely to have hatched that day, or the day before.
Looking like a miniature conifer wood, a cluster of horsetails, non-flowering plants triving as weeds.
Their brief flowering season already over, these hellebores had seeds which were already ripening. These were in the Dutch Garden at Bantock Park.
What remained in mid-April of a larger tufted duck flock which had overwintered on West Park lake. Over the winter, numbers of males and females had been approximately equal. Here the drakes heavily outnumbered the ducks.
Ribwort plantain: another one which isn’t actually a flower, it’s a non-flowering plant.
A caterpillar moving at speed across a canal footpath, heading for the vegetation by the water’s edge. It’s a wood tiger moth caterpillar (considered a pest by fruit tree growers) which would struggle to find any wood to burrow into without reversing its direction.
