Runner bean flowers, glowing bright orange in morning sunlight.

Young ducks, not yet full sized but already in their adult plumage. Swimming by the flowering water lilies on Old Nursery Pond.

A pair of azure damselflies clasped together, resting on a leaf while mating. Another male flies over.

It’s water lily flowering season. These were on Old Nursery Pond.

It’s back. I hadn’t seen the West Park turtle since late May, despite visiting the park often. Finally, recently, it was back in one of its favourite spots for basking in the sun. It had been away so long, a coot had decided that the end of the log was a safe spot to build its nest.

A West Park heron on one of the highest favoured perches, this time with its neck stretched out, occasionally inclining its head at a slightly differetn angle.
