Coot swimming with a pair of very young chicks, keeping them close to one of the islands in West Park lake.

Close-up of delicate cow parsley flowers – these were growing by the path crossing Compton Rough.

Female large red damselfly on a leaf on the Compton Park pool, moving to the far side of the leaf, perhaps to avoid my attention. As in many species, the female is less conspicuous than the males.

West Park’s parent swans and their cygnets, contorting their necks to preen while afloat in the middle of the boating lake.

Ornate white poppies, some flowers already open and others just breaking buds, in one of the front gardens of East Castle Street, Bridgnorth.

Another morning, and a buzzard using a thermal to rise in the sky over Compton Park as soon as it had got warm enough, the bird soaring almost over my head.
