It’s spring, and the new season’s fungi are starting to appear. Yhese glistening inkcaps were in Old Nursery Wood.

Greylag goose making a splash as it came in to land on the water of the boating lake at West Park.

Scarlet elf cup fungi which first emerged in the depths of winter. A little nibbled around the edges, but still bright red at the end of March.

Blackbird with a small patch of white feathers on the left wing. The dominant female in a garden, chasing any other female which comes too near to her. Even chases intruder males occasionally.

Ramson (wild garlic) leaves covering tree-shaded patch of ground near the danal junction at Aderesley. Soon the plants will be flowering, and the area heavy with the smell of garlic.

Dunnock in the branches of a buddleia bush, looking round warily, checking everything is safe.
