Fly and a (much smaller) bug, both standing on the same nettle leaf.

Pair of buzzards in a cornfield near Berkswell. The larger bird, on the left, is probably the female.

Flowering flag irises – these growing at the edge of the pond near the car park at Northycote Farm.

View across one of the unforested areas on the Cannock Chase high ground. The bright green ground cover is whinberry; the white may be bog cotton – I didn’t get close enough for an identification.

Some of the large carp in the lake at West Park.

I’ve been visiting the park for many years, and never noticed them before.

On a warm day recently there were at least a dozen of them in a shallow sunny patch.

View up the final section of the long drive to Chillington Hall. The gentle curves of the landscape owe as much to Capability Brown as to nature.
