Yarrow still flowering earlier this month – a wildflower with a flowering season lasting from early summer into early winter.

A mass of the feathery seeds developing on old man’s beard escaping over a garden fence, lit from behind by early morning sun. A native clematis, often found on hedges and fences.

Mossy bells, tiny brown mushrooms likely to be found on mossy lawns (surprise).

One of the West Park carrion crows, breaking the pattern of black-headed gulls on a fence, and down closer to the water.

Shaggy scalycaps, distinctive mushroom usually found growing in clumps, often at the base of tree stumps or dead or dying trees.

Squirrels seen on various visits to West Park. The squirrels there have got so used to being fed that some of them seem to have been teaching themselves to perform tricks to look cuter.
