The bright purple flowers of a Judas tree in front of the Conservatory in West Park.

Three cygnets with the mother swan on the lake at West Park. When we saw them previously, a few days earlier, the cob had also been there. This time there was no sign of him.

Swans are normally very attentive parents. The pen stays close to the cygnets, while the cob usually stands guard a little distance away, constantly alert to any threats. It’s most unusual to see a grouping like this.

Star of bethlehem flowering, almost hidden in the long grass under the apple and pear trees of the orchard in Anne Hathaway’s cottage.

The water in the basin of the Stratford canal looking dead flat on a calm spring day, reflecting the big wheel in the park across the river.

Two lilac bushes side by side: one with the eponymously-coloured flowers, on the other they’re white.

The animated sheep sculpture on the balcony of Wolverhampton Art Gallery is back working again.
Originally dating from 2000, and presumably one of the symbols of the town being one of the two in England promoted to city status to mark the millennium. It’s been out of order for a decade or so, but at last it’s been decided to get it repaired.
Now it’s back to performing every hour on the hour. It’s even had a new tune commissioned to play as it does its dance.
For a view of its first incarnation, see this post from 2010.
