Bees were busily coming in and out of the opening to their nest in a felled tree trunk in Himley Plantation a few days ago.

Fly agaric toadstool, peeping through grasses and fallen twigs under a birch tree.

Yew berries, green as they begin to develop, and turning red as they begin to ripen.

The prince is one of the larger mushrooms: the cap can grow to a diameter of up to 9 or 10 inches, though the largest of these was perhaps half of that.

They were growing on a grassy patch (lawn only to the most generous) under trees in front of the former Customs and Excise offices on Tettenhall Road.
