Wood pigeon which seemed to be posing for me, first on a fence then a wall, by the Dutch Garden at Bantock House.

Plantain flower just beginning to open …

and others which have yet to do so.

The leaves were just beginning to open on this tree peony, which was growing beside Town Pool, Badger.

Robin adding its contribution to the dawn chorus.

The flowers were just beginning to come out on the fruit tree it had chosen as its perch.

Yellow archangel, its flowers just opening. It was growing yards from the end of the Birmingham Canal at Aldersley Junction.

Marsh marigolds, also known as king cups.

These were growing by the edge of the pool at Bantock Park.
