Robin which came hopping round by the table on a pub terrace I had just sat down on. It hung around just long enough for me to get out my camera and fire off this one shot.

The River Blythe at Templars Balsall extending for about a hundred yards up a farm lane leading to the main road with the extra water it is carrying after frequent rains.

A ford and wooden footbridge across river Blythe are just visible in the distance.

Buzzard on energy-efficient gliding flight as it looks out for prey.

On my wanderings I’ve noticed a couple of apple trees which still seemed to have all their fruit in January.

These were on a lone apple tree in a field otherwise used as a sheep pasture by the River Stour at Clifford Chambers, Warwickshire.

Mature oak tree growing at the edge of Barley Field, above the Railway Walk cutting.

In winter the woody structure of the tree becomes visible.

A black-headed gull is the most vociferous of the birds in demanding food from someone on the bank of the river Avon.

Its assertiveness seems to be paying off in fitness. The bird (centre in the second picture) is developing the black cap of breeding plumage earlier than the rest of the birds around.
