Don’t rhubarb flowers look exotic?

The magpie was on the lookout on a tall tree directly behind the house in Bantock Park.

This was one of a group of moderately large mushrooms, which were still fairly inconspicuous where the grass had grown around them.

Another picture from a visit to Bantock Park in early May. A maple tree was in flower. Although the leaves had not been out for long, something had already been nibbling them.

Walls built from furnace slag used to be common around Wolverhampton. This is less so now, but they can still be found. This one was by the former Bantock Park lodge next to Finchfield Road.

It was still early in the morning. Every few yards along the pavement there was another slug, all heading for the nearby long grass which would be their daytime refuge.
