Moss growing on the side of a wall overlooking Tettenhall Lower Green. Close-up pictures make the structures holding the spores look like a miniature forest.

This Easter bunny isn’t a rabbit but, like the German original, a hare (der Osterhase). It is indeed a German hare, keeping its head down in a field of young barley in the Rhineland during last year’s wet spring.

Springtime view looking down across Tettenhall’s Lower Green.

Adventurous moorhen in search of food – on a bird table sampling the peanuts.

Delicate blackthorn flowers growing on the end of a twig encrusted in a curly lichen.

The tree they were on was growing in the small Packhorse Bridge Local Nature Reserve outside Hampton in Arden.

Robin on one of the bushes at the edge of Compton Rough. It kept alternating between preening its right shoulder and singing.

Occasionally it paused to watch its surroundings.
