Large patches of last year’s growth of rosebay willowherb could still be found on rough ground locally late in March.

Blossom from some kind of fruit tree.

This ladybird seemed just to be taking a rest in the morning sunlight.

This heron was on a tree beside the Shropshire Union canal, apparently surveying the field beyond. It was disturbed by a boat coming from the other direction before I could get any closer.

The hairs on the stem can cause an allergic reaction in some individuals.

Unidentified caterpillar is rather lost crossing a marble paving-stone.
