Blushing brackets, lots of them, growing on all the trees round a clearing in Old Nursery Wood, just behind the pond.

A tapered drone fly, a hoverfly, sunning itself on vegetation in the shopping centre at Perton.

Cluster of greater stitchwort flowers growing near the canal near Castlecroft bridge. At the moment they are in the hedgerow all aong the canal.

Yet another mallard family with recently hatched ducklings, these on the canal in the countryside near Castlecroft. The drake has stuck around, and is helping to watch over the young ones.

An apple bush forming part of the hedge along the canal, covered in flowers and flower buds recently.

Coot on the nest in the lee of the island, West Park lake. The red of the beaks of some chicks can just be seen almost hidden. Possibly three chicks, perhaps very recently hatched.
