The flowers on yew trees are small and inconspicuous.

These were growing on yews in the churchyard at Berkswell. Yews are often found churchyards.

Turkeytail is a common bracket fungus, often found growing on dead wood and tree stumps. This was on one of the stumps in the wood at Northycote.

Some of the bright yellow pollen from this crocus had fallen onto the floor of the flower.

Watercress growing in a small stream at Berkwsell.

The stream’s source is the well which gives the village its name.

Snowdrops reflected in the canal near Castlecroft.

There are no other snowdrops nearby – I presume these must have been planted or escaped from the garden of one of the houses there.
