These were growing on a grassy bank by the Halesowen ring road.

These reed flowers were beginning to go over when this picture was taken early last month.

This goose was watchful but determined to stay in place by the Birmingham canal near the bridge carrying Cable Street.

The blue flower is a meadow cranesbill, possibly an escapee. The pink is from a species common in local hedgerows well away from gardens.

A fly resting and warming itself in the morning sunlight.

This vividly coloured insect is a common damselfly.
