Fly with bright red compound eyes resting on a thistle leaf in the spring sunshine.

Swan brooding eggs on what looks like a very rudimentary nest on one of the islands on West Park lake. Four cygnets later emerged (lots of pictures to come).

A few seconds and a slight change of angle gave views both of the lower and upper wings of a resting peacock butterfly.

The impressive wisteria which covers most of the Bridgnorth Road facade of the Mermaid Inn, just beginning to flower early in May.

West Park herons’ nest with one bird standing up in the nest. Probably changeover time as one bird replaces the other in brooding the eggs.

Today’s two posts show the same West Park herons’ nest featured yesterday, a couple of days after those pictures were taken. In this set, an accident of perspective makes it look like a gull is standing guard for the nest.
