Poplar still showing its bare wintry outline recently. Its catkins have been and gone, and the leaves are yet to appear.

Black headed gull standing on the frozen West Park boating lake last weekend. The head feathers aren’t black, but dark brown.

Buds about to open on a sycamore tree in Springvale Park, and the tree itself.

Horned sheep, possibly soays, keep a careful eye on me.

Distant view of an oak tree growing by the Smestow Brook. The reddish colour is from the buds which are about to open.
