Common sorrel in flower. This one was in the Barley Field, way back at the end of May.

More of the bird life of Mary Stevens Park, a few minutes walk from the centre of Stourbridge. This is a song thrush, possibly a young one. First it was on a branch of a tree, then it landed on the ground in a successful search for food.

Some of the varied community of plants which have found a home on the artificial cliff-face formed by the castle ruins at Bridgnorth. Ragwort, snapdragon, wallflower were all blooming among the moss and grass.

Group of Canada geese and goslings on the pool at Mary Stevens Park, Stourbridge. There were three adults, and a dozen or so young, which were the products of two or prehaps three different broods. But all the birds were now moving together as one group, whether they were swimming around the pool, or on land with the goslings foraging for food.

These two ladybirds look like they are mating. As far as I know this is unlikely for different species.

Hay fever sufferers look out! Different grass species flowering or just about to come into flower. Mostly from the Barley Field.
