It’s not wildlife, and Berkswell is quite some way from Wolverhampton, but this sign for the Bear Inn caught my eye a while back.

This particular hawthorn caught my attention because the haws were about twice the size of those on all the other bushes around.

The red compound eyes seem to make up a huge proportion of the total body size of this fly.

The leaves of this thistle, photographed a few days ago on the Cotwell End LNR, were so green they looked like new growth.

A view from an open point in another of Dudley’s LNRs, Cotwell End. This is looking towards the Clee Hills stretching out on the horizon.

A very bushy patch of moss growing on a branch spreading out over the Staffs & Worcs canal. This picture too was taken only a short distance from those featured yesterday.
