Apart from its own attractions, this flower is significant as the food plant for the orange tip butterfly.

The buds of a sycamore before they unfolded. A tiny ladybird can just be seen nestling where the buds join the branch.

This parrot featured on Wednesday landed on the same tree less than ten minutes later.

Possibly cow parsley – it’s hard to be sure before the flowers come out.

A parrot flying up and down the river Severn at Bridgnorth: here perching on a horse chestnut and eating some of the young buds.

It must be an escape, but apparently it has been flying wild for some months now.

A real plant from the dawn of time.
