Wild arum berries at different stages of ripening on different plants.

The common hedgerow plant has such a distinctive appearance that it has several vernacular names.

Burdocks caught just as the flowers were going over. It is (or was) the roots of the plant used to make the soft drink.

Gatekeeper butterfly resting on a hawthorn bush as it uses the morning sunshine to get warm enough to be active.

Horse chestnuts beginning to ripen – these were on a tree by the path at the edge of Northycote Farm.

I’m presuming this must have been a young bird: it seemed unconcerned even though it knew I was nearby, much closer than jackdaws usually tolerate.

One flower already open, and another about to, on a shrub of a hibiscus species.
