Male common blue damselflies resting on bullrush leaves close to the decking of the Compton Park pond, taking a pause from their flights over the water in search of females.

“Clocks” of dandelion seeds, in close-up.

Young heron, a regular in West Park, standing on the shore of the lake early one morning. It was looking for fish and occasionally pausing to preen. In the background there were rhododendrons flowering.

Extravagantly large spreading leaf of a Chinese rhubarb plant, this one at the far side of the small pond in Bantock Park.

Male orange tip butterfly heading to pass me and fly away to a sport further from any danger of human disturbance.
