Collared earthstar fungi, growing beside the towpath at Castlecroft. I’ve not been able to get out there recently: these were under the hedge two years back.

Common darter dragonfly resting on a leaf at the edge of the pond where it had its territory. This one was in the garden at Wightwick Manor, back in September 2013.

One of the moorhens on West Park lake, balancing on one leg on the board at the edge of the lake, with the other leg outstretched as far as possible.

A touch of brightness for Boxing Day. Tassles of love lies bleeding flowers in Bantock Park back in August.

Representations of bears, some more life like than others. Variously from around Berlin, where they are the symbol of the city; from in St Mary’s Church, Warwick, and outside a shop in Exeter.

Last and largest set of doorknockers. Cats and dogs, a swan and a fish. Two elephants, one with a pivoting trunk. The cicada was spotted in its native environment, the south of France. The spooky bat and the palm tree were on neighbouring houses in Bridgnorth’s Low Town, the woodpecker which sounded by banging its beak to its tree in the same row of houses.
