Magpie on the handrail of the footbridge over the Compton Park pool, flying off as someone approached from the other direction.

Papery petal texture and bright red colour. This poppy was a garden escapee.

Cellar cup fungus, though these were not growing in a cellar. Rather, they were in the open aor, around canes which were supporting bean plants.

Red clover, coming towards the end of its flowering season. These were in the Barley Field.

The third species of damselfly on the Compton Park pond this year. Like the large red and azure species, this blue tailed individual is a male, and shares their habit of resting on horizontal bulrush leaves hoping to attract a female.

Seeds of a sycamore, with the wings for carrying them some distance from the tree, as they were just starting to ripen.
