Unripe yew berries half-hidden behind a whitened old spider’s web.

More shaggy parasols, this time growing in Hawthorn Wood: like West and East Parks, a place they regularly appear at this time of year.

Magpie standing on a set of floodlights, looking out for threats – or victims.

Bright red and slimy waxcap growing under the grass in East Park. Waxcaps are a genus of mushrooms which grow less than an inch tall, but often have bright colours.

This one was probably a so-called scarlet hood, though there other, less common, ones with a similar colour.

Developing cones on a tree in East Park. I think the blue-green needles are also new growth.

Not something I notice very often: a pair of insects mating.

These were hoverflies, specifically sun flies, on a hawthorn leaf in the sun.
