Black headed gull standing on the frozen West Park boating lake last weekend. The head feathers aren’t black, but dark brown.

Buds about to open on a sycamore tree in Springvale Park, and the tree itself.

Horned sheep, possibly soays, keep a careful eye on me.

They were in the field opposite the entrance to the Pendeford Mill Nature Reserve.

This camellia flowers early every year, but this year’s cold must have been a shock to its system!

Distant view of an oak tree growing by the Smestow Brook. The reddish colour is from the buds which are about to open.

Re-visit to the beaked earth star shown here, now emerging from snowy debris under its hedge.
