Wolves Wild

As the weather got warmer last week, there was a big increase in the numbers of ladybirds on vegetation. These were a small sample of ones on ivy leaves at Caslecroft, including a mating pair.

Wall-rue growing on the mortar on a wall of Staffordshire blue bricks.

Fairies bonnets, small  inkcap mushrooms which can grow in clusters at any time from early spring to late autumn. These were already somewhat battered when I spotted them.

Flowering currents with flowers hanging from the ends of their twigs recently.

Magnolia with feathery lichen on its twigs, and flower buds just beginning to open.

Managed to catch some snowdrops while they were still in flower. These were on the Upper Green, Tettenhall a couple of weeks ago.
