Rose, which was growing on a bush climbing up a fence by the side of the Birmigham Canal.

Adult swan and six cygnets swimming near the island in West Park’s boating lake recently.

The heron from yesterday’s post was on watch nearby – the cygnets were just the right size to make a tasty breakfast for the heron. But all the cygnets were still thriving when I last checked, several days after these pictures were taken.

Some of the many red clover flowers growing amid the long grass of the Barley Field.

Well-grown coot chick by the edge of the pool at West Park. It spent all its time demanding to be fed by a parent, even though it looked big enough to gather its own food.

Heron perching on a bough at the edge of the island in West Park boating lake, looking out for prey early one morning recnetly.
