Graffiti of a robin and a kingfisher on bridges on the Railway Walk, Wombourne way, seem to me to be a similar style to the work on the now demolished buildings in Graiseley.
The owl on a stump carving, next to a footpath passing Belvide Reservoir outside Brewood, fooled me in silhouette from a distance.
The woodpecker is perhaps more ornament that use – hence the need for a repair with glue.
Owl doorknockers and the traditional cocks for weathervanes seem to predominate, but there are a few variations here.
The wrought iron heron and owl are from the former Wolverhampton Environmental Centre gate. The impressive weathervane of the owl swooping to catch a mouse is from a house just of the Compton Road.
The rat (main picture) is from a statue on a bridge in Berlin portraying St Gertrude, a seventh century nun whose powers include the ability to disperse plagues of rodents. She is also a patron saint of cat lovers, cat owners and their cats, gardeners, herbalists, farmlands, good lodgings, travellers, pilgrims, recently dead people, graves, poor people, widows and Nivelles, Belgium, where her nunnery was. The statue has rats and mice around the base, all polished as they are regularly fingered for luck by pedestrians passing that way.
The cow (two pictures from different angles) is a Simmental bull, spotted in the Hinksford Mobile Home Park, seen from the canal towpath.
The elephant is just opposite the High Town terminus of the Bridgnorth Cliff Railway. The horse vane, and the sheep and lamb / pig and piglet fixtures are on houses near either end of the farm track which is a westward continuation of Castlecroft Road.
Lions heads are common among doorknockers. These two were variations on the more usual patterns. The ram’s head came from Ludlow, and the bear from Warwick.
The mole – a cutout from a now lichen-covered metal – is from the elaborate gate of the former Wolverhampton Environmental Centre. It gives access to land the Council is currently proposing to sell for housing development.
Ape images, graffiti on supports of one of the railway viaducts crossing the Staffs & Worcs Canal as it passes between Aldersley and Oxley.
Not the Gornal legend: these pigs with personality were graffiti in a quiet street on the edge of Brussels, city of comics, some years ago.
Some garden ornaments, some gatepost decorations (an alternative to the usual lions or eagles) and a couple of bronze statues in the form of lambs and piglets.
