I noticed this carved mouse on the signpost for a footpath as I was walking to get to the Pendeford Mill Reserve for its Open Day a while back.

Despite the wet summer, the seeds of this angelica are drying out and ripening. The picture was taken right at the start of the month.

A large cross spider, and so almost certainly a female, was darting about her web as she repaired damage to the threads.

A picture and brief excerpt from
my article in the new edition of Wolverhampton Magazine
(I believe copies of last month’s issue are also still available).

A larger version of the picture will be featured here in a post in a couple of weeks. 

These raspberries were beginning to ripen at the start of the month.

Two moths caught asleep in the daytime. This one was in short grass on a seaside hill.

This one, with cryptic camouflage, was in a privet hedge.
