Carrion crow using the highest remaining point on the ruins of Bridgnorth Castle to watch everything that’s going on.

Growing, as it often does, by a roadside, this red dead nettle was just beginning to flower.

No need to take care to avoid touching it. Although it looks quite like one, it isn’t actually a nettle. And ‘dead’ just means it doesn’t sting.

One of the Crowther Road parakeets nibbling at the buds of a sycamore near its nest. It was busy eating while its mate was having a drink over on the other side of the canal.

They weren’t cooperative enough to pose together, but the pictures in this set include both the parakeets sharing a nest in Crowther Road wood, resting on branches close to that nest.

The latest plant to establish themselves on pool in Compton Park. Several clumps of marsh marigolds (king cups) in inaccessible spots, in full flower earlier this month.

Buzzard circling, using a thermal to get higher, flying over the Severn valley directly downstream of Low Town.
