The crows of Sutton Park are used to human disturbance, and less prone to flee than elsewhere.
This one was playing with a short piece of wood, and taking even less notice of me.
The various shades in its plumage weren’t visible to my naked eye: it looked the standard carrion crow black.
This flowering meadowsweet was attracting a lot of insects. The honey bee and hoverfly were the ones which cooperated in being pictured.
This poplar hawk moth was settled for the day on a pile of leaves and dirt at the outer side of a garden wall.
The Sutton Park heather was just coming into flower at the very beginning of the month.
The cinnabar moth is a brightly-coloured, day-flying moth. Like its caterpillar it is brightly coloured, to advertise that it is poisonous. The poisons are absorbed from ragworts, the home and food of the caterpillar.
