A row of gulls on a fence overlooking the Severn at Shrewsbury. As they were keeping their beady eyes out for breads being scattered on the waters, there was always one watching the footpath (empty, closed off because it was flooded).

Fairies’ bonnets, also called trooping crumblecaps, tiny inkcap mushrooms. Despite their size, here they are showing their power to break through the pavement.

Tufted ducks and shovellers. Every year small flocks of both species of ducks gather on the West Park lake every winter.

Small mushrooms growing in short grass. Some had been kicked over. With their reddish-brown caps and scaly stems, they may have been earthy powdercaps.

Robin on low vegetation right by the footpath across Compton Rough, looking round and watching me,constantly alert.
