Closeup of chickweed growing in a front garden. Its profusion reminded me of a miniature jungle.

Swan with its feet deep in mud beside the River Sow as it crosses Doxey Marshes outside Stafford.

Reed growing in a ditch on Doxey Marshes, with a flower-head which is black or near-black.

Magpie on a branch by the Railway Walk, turning its head to keep a careful eye on me. The sunlight shining through the trees lit up an iridescent rainbow in the tip of its tail feathers.

Red algae covering the surface of the slow-moving water in one of the ditches on Doxey Marshes, forming continuous cover except where the occasional taller plant sends leaves through.

The showy plumage of a male pheasant. This one had found some delicacy to eat in the little wood behind the bus stop in Wyken.
