Behind this small pond on the Dudley nature reserve is a field whose ups and downs are a surviving product of agricultural methods which were superseded several hundred years ago.

I like this metal sculpture of a pike in weeds by the Dock, a side pool part way up Stourbridge locks on the Stourbridge canal.

The sculpture is high on a pole. There is reputed to be a real and big pike lurking in the pool itself.

A little further uphill than the pike in the previous post, there is an equally attractive swan on the nest decorating the finger post.

This year’s Christmas special is one of a pair of wallabies spotted at an “animal adventure” near the start of the Stafford Road.

When photographed in mid-January, they seemed contented despite the harsh winter, if not as smug as the larger than life camel below.

Whenever I have been passing more recently, the kangaroos have continued to look contented.

Merry Christmas!

This stream through a wooded section of Sutton Park is far too straight to be convincing.
