Female blackbird in the hawthorn hedge by the side of the track leading down towards the stream at Northycote Farm. Just getting ready to fly off in the final picture.

Mass of candlestick fungi growing in close proximity near the path along the Penk at Perton. There must have been some dead wood buried there.

Misty, frosty morning, with atmospheric views of sunbeams through the trees and the pool and stream at Albrighton and Donington LNR.

Red leaves, frosted after a cold night, in an understated decorative border to a small patch of green space at Perton.

Long-tailed tits on one of the bird feeders at Northycote Farm, and taking a pause in one of the nearby trees.

Clouded agaric mushrooms growing under a spreading oak on Northycote Farm, forming a segment of a large fairy ring.
