A bee gathering nectar from bramble flowers. There is a tiny beetle to the right of the bee’s thorax in the first picture.

The ants crawling along this painters palette plant reminded me of the M.C.Escher woodcut Möbius Strip II [www.mathacademy.com].

There have been many fields with a mass of poppies this year. This one was just off the B4176 by the junction with Tinkers Castle Road.

And these were between Tong and Shifnall.

This was one of a pair of coots which were vigorously building or rebuilding their nest at the very end of June.

In my opinion, one of the most fascinating plants in the West Park Conservatory.

The delicate-looking leaves of a papyrus plant.
