Galls forming on the young leaves of different oak trees. I can’t see any particular changes in appearance in the week or so between these pictures being taken and the time I’m writing this.

Swans on the two beaches on West Park’s boating lake island.

The lone swan on the beach facing the bandstand is in a spot often chosen by nesting swans, and is surrounded by scattered feathers. Possibly the beginnings of a nest.
