Dryad’s saddle fungi growing on a fallen log by the Railway Walk near Lower Penn.

Robins pincushion, a reddish, hair-like growth on wild rose bushes like this one in the roadside hedge at the bottom of Pattingham hill. A gall caused by larvae of a wasp.

Devon red cows and calves in a field at Wombourne. I was told by passers-by that the herd are kept for showing.

Dunnock by the Railway Walk in the cutting at Compton. Didn’t fly off even though it saw me only a few yards away, so perhaps a young vird.

Green-veined white butterfly, feeding on alkanet flowers, holding its wings together and so showing the green veining on the underside.

The West Park turtle, still looking fine after appearing in them lake at the start of lockdown, moving out of the water onto the log where it suns itself all day.
