A bullrush flowering.

As well as the two pools in the centre of the village there is one down by the stream in the Dingle.

This weathered post, by a quiet lane outside Pattingham, seemed to be the crow’s preferred lookout point.

This heron seems to have chosen the willow tree on the island of the smaller arm of the lake in West Park as its preferred perch.

One of a pair of Aylesbury’s which were on the lookout for bread when the mallards seemed happy to be resting in the warm sun.

A second “Access all areas” session where the entire Conservatory at West Park was opened to photographers was held at the end of June. The pictures I took will feature in several posts in the coming days. The first instalment is this magnificent orchid which was in one of the greenhouses at the back, not normally open to the public.
