One of the clearings in Himley Plantation has several fallen tree trunks which support a variety of different species of fungi. A robin has this clearing as its territory. When I’ve been photographing the fungi, the bird keeps coming near, ignoring my presence.
The ever-changing surface of the Severn a few yards downstream of one of the piers of the old bridge across the river at Bridgnorth. When these pictures were taken in late November, the river was high but still a little way from breaking its banks, and flowing very fast.
Four herons, each standing unmoving on one leg, catching the mid-day winter sun. The first one was on the southern shore of West Park’s boating lake island. The other three were all on the southern side of the other island.
Two were perched in different trees, the third in the middle on the ground. Can you spot where all three are in the last pictures in this set?

A world turned upside down
A sunny winter morning. Dead calm, so no breeze to create ripples in the surface of the canal. So a picture which just focuses on the reflection of the trees on the far shore looks like it has accidentally been turned upside down.

Magpie stepping out, West Park
Magpie stepping across short grass in West Park. The bird was one of a pair eating the remains of peanuts which had been left by squirrels.
