magpie stalking in the then recently-cut stubble of the wildflower meadow at Bantock Park, hunting for insects to eat.

Double-striped pug moth (Gymnoscelis rufifasciataon) resting on the inside of a window. It’s not been since, so hopefully it managed to return to the open air.

A sun fly, a common type of hoverfly, struggling to get deep into a bindweed flower to get at that delicious nectar.

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.
