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.

The toadstool with the colours of Christmas can sometimes be found on the edge of Wolverhampton city centre. These fly agarics grow near a birch tree and almost hidden among canes on the corner of Darlington Street and the ring road.

This butterfly was feeding on the flowers in a thistle patch in Sutton Park back in the summer. I had walked most of the way round the park before I saw it, so I didn’t have the energy to wait for it to give me a fuller view of the wings, and so a better chance of working out the species.
