A pair of little grebes in breeding plumage just downstream of Compton Lock.
Dabchicks normally overwinter on the canal, but head off elsewhere to breed, going before they are in breeding plumage. This year, at least five or six have stuck around in the stretch of canal between Aldersley and Wightwick.
An ear fungus by the canal towpath at Wightwick, growing on its preferred host, an elder.
Snowman with leaves for eyes in West Park yesterday.
One of the violets growing on a bank by the canal towpath, along with lesser celandines as featured in the previous post.
This lesser celandine flower wasn’t quite ready to open even on one of the sunniest days recently.
A view when walking to the location of the next two posts. A peaceful scene barely disturbed by the distant rumble of traffic on the Bridgnorth road.
