Seed heads produced by last year’s bulrush flowers, Compton Park pool. Seen early morning a few days ago.

An unexpected sighting on the lake at West Park, a common slider turtle surveying the water from a fallen branch near one of the islands.

Another selection of flowers I have come across on exercise walks during the lockdown. Some cultivated, in front gardens or in West Park and Bantock Park. Others wild, as roadside weeds or in the Bantock Park wildflower meadow.
