Tiny spider scurrying back and forth as it was weaving its web between the twigs of a hazel bush.

Fruit on the spindle tree opposite Tettenhall Station (alias Cupcake Lane). Now getting their first blush of pink developing from the earlier unripe green. The colours should bet brighter and more dramatic as the fruit ripen.

The rats in West Park are getting ever bolder (their numbers are probably growing, too). Here, one had gone down to the edge of the lake for a drink of water.

Flowers opening on a West Park rose glorybower bush. The plant is sometimes called a Mexican hydrangea. It is not a hydrangea, and originates from China, not Mexico.

Candy-striped spider, still stoically guarding her nest. The nest is on the underside of two hazel leaves, which are stitched together by some of the outer threads of the nest.

The bindweed flowers of the Paddock at Newbridge were proving attractive to many kinds of hoverflies. Here a common flower fly is exploring one of the flowers.
