The usual adult heron in West Park, perched on a favourite willow, growing on the island and hanging over the water of the lake.

The camera I had with me that day could only zoom up to moderate telephoto settings.

I keep popping back for another look at a spindle tree by the Railway Walk at Newbridge, watching the fruit change colour as they ripen. They’re now pink all over, and getting redder.

Dragonfly, a common darter male, on the footpath by the canal, near to Wightwick Mill lock. The males usually perch where they can watch a stretch of still or slow-flowing water. Because the path is work to a lower level than the rest of the canal bank, this one’s field of view only began well above water level.

Standing on a branch on the bank of the Bylet in Bridgnorth, a grey wagtail, one of a resident pair.

A tiny mushroom growing directly from the trunk of a fallen tree in Bantock Park, with views from above and below.

A dock bug on the leaf of one of the brambles un the undergrowth of Old Nursery Wood in the Smestow Valley Nature Reserve.
