Mallards, possibly a female and this year’s now adult-sized offspring, swimming in the Smestow Brook at Compton.

Pair of swans and six well-grown cygnets resting in the sun on the tip of the bylet at Bridgnorth recently.

The pale blue flower of a chicory. This one was growing in a patch with several species of wildflowers by the bridge in West Park.

The bright yellow of a corn marigold flower, growing in the wildflower patch by the canal opposite the Wildside Activity Centre.

Male beautiful demoiselle damselfly with a territory on the canal near the water bridge, taking a pause from patrolling and resting on a nettle leaf overlooking the water.

Flowers from some of the teazles beginning to colonise the area around the Compton Park pool, just beginning to produce pollen and already attracting the attention of a lone bumblebee.
