Whenever the rain pauses for a while, there seem to have been a lot of ladybirds about this year.

A more favoured spot on the same bush as yesterday’s buds – these flowers were pictured at the same time.

Just starting to open, towards the end of April.

Growing in the undergrowth near the Ranger Station on the Smestow Valley LNR Railway Walk.

This pair of ladybirds seemed to have arranged themselves not quite symmetrically on the new growth at the top of a nettle

This thriving moss was growing on a horizontal bough, conveniently at eye level.
