Pike in the weeds

Pike in weeds

I like this metal sculpture of a pike in weeds by the Dock, a side pool part way up Stourbridge locks on the Stourbridge canal.

The sculpture is high on a pole. There is reputed to be a real and big pike lurking in the pool itself.

Swan sculpture, Stourbridge Canal

A little further uphill than the pike in the previous post, there is an equally attractive swan on the nest decorating the finger post.

Exotic mammals

Wallaby

This year’s Christmas special is one of a pair of wallabies spotted at an “animal adventure” near the start of the Stafford Road.

Wallaby

When photographed in mid-January, they seemed contented despite the harsh winter, if not as smug as the larger than life camel below.

Whenever I have been passing more recently, the kangaroos have continued to look contented.

Woodland stream

This stream through a wooded section of Sutton Park is far too straight to be convincing.
