Scarlet elf cups growing on fallen wood by the Railway Walk. Most of these are from behind the former Tettenhall station, the first site where I noticed these fungi growing in Wolverhampton a decade or so back. A few are from a new site, nearer Meccano Bridge.

A recent winter morning, with a heavy winter mist. Some of the swans on the West Park boating lake, gently feeding and preeding.

Close-up view of one of the hips still left on a rose bush, a drop of rain water hanging from its tip.

Female blackbird seemed to be enjoying herself as she cleaned herself in a makeshift bird bath.

Sulfur tuft mushrooms growing on a fallen log by the Railway Walk. Now looking the worse for wear, after coming through several bouts of snow and frost. Here they are when they first emerged a month or so ago,

As snow covered the ground, a male blackbird landed in a buddleia bush, twisting its head as it carefully looked around while working out what it was safe to do next.
