Cellar cup fungus, though these were not growing in a cellar. Rather, they were in the open aor, around canes which were supporting bean plants.

Red clover, coming towards the end of its flowering season. These were in the Barley Field.

The third species of damselfly on the Compton Park pond this year. Like the large red and azure species, this blue tailed individual is a male, and shares their habit of resting on horizontal bulrush leaves hoping to attract a female.

Seeds of a sycamore, with the wings for carrying them some distance from the tree, as they were just starting to ripen.

Lurid boletes, which grow in the same area of a front lawn every summer. Their colours are quite dark, but not exactly lurid.

Nettle flowers, not very conspicuous at the tops of the stems.

An insect, possibly a three-spotted nettle bug, shelters under the highest leaf.

Further down the plant, the remains of flowers which have done their work, been shed, and landed on a leaf.
