Carrion crow watching me warily from its perch in one of the trees overlooking the pond at Northycote Farm.

Wolverhampton’s East Park is nearing the end of a makeover which has had the financial support of the Heritage Lottery Fund.

These pictures show the park’s bandstand in a sad state before, and as it is now after restoration.

Squirrel or squirrels on one of the tarmac paths in West Park.

I’m not sure if the pictures are of the same individual. They were taken a few minutes apart. During the intervening period I had been paying attention to other subjects.

Fungi looking like two small pebbles at the base of a tree between the Molineux Stadium and the ring road. They were perhaps a small earthball species.

Remains of a tree in the woods at Northycote Farm. The algae-covered wood seems to have been twisted into an abstract sculpture.

Berry Brook on the boundary of Northycote Farm, like all watercourses after this winter of persistent rains, carrying much more water than usual.
