A goose was incubating her eggs on a nest on the accumulation of flotsam forming a still-growing island against a pier of Low Town Bridge, Bridgnorth. In one picture she is twisting her neck to pluck some of her downy feathers from under one wing, for packing in the nest.
Near the other side of the Severn a pair of geese on their nest on shingle under one of the arches of the bridge.
Views over the Severn from the bankside footpath, at Danesford and nearing Quatford. Quatford church, on the top of a riverside cliff, is visible on the skyline in one of the pictures.
Carrion crow using the highest remaining point on the ruins of Bridgnorth Castle to watch everything that’s going on.
Growing, as it often does, by a roadside, this red dead nettle was just beginning to flower.
No need to take care to avoid touching it. Although it looks quite like one, it isn’t actually a nettle. And ‘dead’ just means it doesn’t sting.
One of the Crowther Road parakeets nibbling at the buds of a sycamore near its nest. It was busy eating while its mate was having a drink over on the other side of the canal.
They weren’t cooperative enough to pose together, but the pictures in this set include both the parakeets sharing a nest in Crowther Road wood, resting on branches close to that nest.
