On my most recent visit to Northycote Farm, several lambs, along with their mothers and some sheep of a more exotic species. There didn’t seem to be any urgent need to separate the sheep from the goats.

Poppies growing in a front garden. Not the usual red flowers, nor were they yellow. Instead, they were orange.

Wren in a prominent position on the highest twig of hawthorn bush by the canal towpath at Castlecroft, singing to proclaim its territory.

Antirrhinum (snapdragon) growing out of a garden wall, and seeming to thrive there.

The same pair of common blue damselflies featured in the previous post, now seen a few seconds later. They have now landed, still mating, on the leaf of a poolside plant.

Pair of common blue damselflies acrobatically mating as they flew across the water of the Compton Park pool.

The male’s abdomen is blue, the female’s green. Both have black bands. The tip of the male’s abdomen is clasped to an area somewhere just behind the female’s head.
