Buds of ivy flowers, pictured a month or so back, before the flowers opened.

Taken on the same morning as the recent post, this picture features a gaggle of the Canada geese from West Park taking their first flight of the morning.

The dragonfly made a brief pause from its hunting, and rested on a late-blooming purple loosestrife flower.

A magpie on the search for food in a partly mown cornfield.

Dramatic colouring as the sun rose on the last day of September.

The weather later that day fitted with the old saying, “Red sky at morning …”

This is the same meadow brown butterfly shown in the first picture in yesterday’s post.
