More insects taking advantage of a sunny spell to gather as much nectar as they could.

A moth, possibly a yellow shell moth, on one of the doors at Bantock Park.

Record shot: a distant view of a raven at the top of a conifer in Bantock Park. Just after these pictures were taken, the bird took off, flying almost overhead so the wedge-shaped tail could be seen clearly enough for a firm ID. A second bird also appeared, flying in parallel with it.

California poppy escaping from a front garden, growing at the inner edge of the pavement.

Bees busy making the best of the sunny weather, out gathering pollen.

Looks like there’s going to be a good crop of haws this year, and seem to be ripening early.
