Magpies, wandering round on the ground, doubtless up to no good. Pictures taken in various locations.

Haws just beginning to form, with the remains of the petals of the flowers they developed from still visible on the ends of the fruits.

Heron standing on a tree fallen over the boating lake at West Park, preening the feathers on its chest.

White elderflowers seen in close-up. These were on one of the bushes by the track on Northycote Farm.

Never noticed such goslings before, but this year a second Canada goose pair have had young at West Park. This set a more modest two goslings. Seen here grazing on shore grass near the Conservatory. The other family, with their ten goslings, were nearby.

Briar roses in the hedge by the track at Northycote Farm. Each flower seemed to be attracting its own tiny insect in the morning sunlight.
