There were still frosty mornings at the start of the month, here decorating the growing leaves of a nettle.

Leaves opening at the end of a pussy willow twig. The leaves begin to open after the catkins which give the tree its name have fallen.

Reeds, just upstream from Compton Lock, seen from the opposite bank of the canal.

A section of Tettenhall ridge from a distance, showing a range of colours as the trees were starting to come into leaf.

One of the geese at Northycote Farm having a thorough was.

It was using the water trough as its bath.

Half-open leaves and leaf buds on a whitebeam growing in the enclosed courtyard of the university’s Wulfruna Street complex.
