Fly (unknown species) visiting ragwort flowers.

Two well grown ducklings and the mother mallard on Old Nursery Pond recently. I hadn’t seen any sign of the birds before on previous occasional visits to the pond.

A mould almost completely covers the above-ground surface of a mushroom. The mushroom is one of the amanita species, so I’m assuming the mould is the amanita mould (or mold).

Young nuthatch at a vantage point on the top of a tree, calling loudly and persistently.
