Sloes on one of the thick hedge of blackthorn bushes at the edge of the Barley Field, still unripe.

Hadn’t seen any signs of the muscovy duck drake on the lake at Perton for several month. Finally, one morning recently, there he was right by the fence in the feeding area where the Penk flows into the pool.

Runner bean flowers, glowing bright orange in morning sunlight.

Young ducks, not yet full sized but already in their adult plumage. Swimming by the flowering water lilies on Old Nursery Pond.

A pair of azure damselflies clasped together, resting on a leaf while mating. Another male flies over.

It’s water lily flowering season. These were on Old Nursery Pond.
