Bumble bees collecting pollen from cistus (rock rose) flowers.

The legs and furry bodies of the bees are sprinkled with pollen.

Canada goose chicks taking an outing with their mother on the Birmingham Canal. A pair of mallards on the nest and a coot also manage to get into pictures.

White waterlily flowers when they were just beginning to open on the fishing pool in Fowler’s Park.

Whitethroat on a telegraph wire, watching me carefully even though I was on the opposite side of a canal.

Yellow flower on a water lily, on the fishing pool at Pool Hall. A damsel fly was just about to fly behind the flower.

Small slug among decaying fallen petals.
