Oak leaves turning to autumn colours on a tree in Bantock Park. These leaves are larger than on the native oak species.

The squirrels of West Park are so used to being fed that some of them demand food of anyone who stands still briefly in their vicinity. This one was dancing to and fro within a few inches of my feet, even though I had nothing to offer it.

Great spotted woodpecker up high in one of the beeches, in West Park, feeding on insects. Greater spotted and green woodpeckers are the ones most likely to be seen around here.

One of the leaves of the mulberry tree at the front of the Dirty Duck in Stratford on Avon. The sun, shining on the far side of the leaf, casting a shadow of a twig.

One of the seed-heads of a clump of pampas grass growing in the garden of Lavington’s Hole in Bridgnorth’s Low Town. The sandstone cliff which has the cave forms the background.
