Possibly the most uncomfortable looking saddles ever – these white saddle fungi come up in the same spot every year.

Scruffy magpie which would have preferred more anonymity, and strolled in a dignified retreat from my intrusive lens.

Way back towards the end of August, these rosehips were already ripening fast.

Passing along the pavement outside the Paget Road site of Wolverhampton College a few days ago, it would be easy to mistake this giant puffball for a half-deflated football. Some kind of small creature had not made that mistake, and had a good go at eating it.

A gall from a knopper wasp, one of the various types which are found on oak trees, usually towards autumn. This was on a tree on the steep northern bank of the Barley Field.

Heron on one of the islands in the West Park lake, fishing. It was too far away to see what it was managing to catch.

Two other herons were also loitering in the vicinity, looking on suspiciously.

These pictures have been hanging fire since late August. But when I visited the park a few days ago, a heron was showing on the same stretch of shoreline.
