Growing among the moss on the top of a wall, and around the base of the trees along the pavement, tiny plants of common whitlowgrass in flower. Not something I’d ever noticed before, but apparently this winter-flowering species is indeed quite common.
Views across the West Park lake just before dawn. The late February full moon heading for disappearing behind the trees before setting around sunrise.
The fur-like texture of pussy willow catkins. These were on a tree overhanging the West Park lake.
Lots of the daffodils are now in full flower, but this plant in Coppice Wood was taking a little longer for them to open.
Probably not the first webs of the year, actually, but the first ones I noticed. Right next to one another, with no signs of the spiders; catching the evening sunlight.
The next day there were strong wings, and no sign of the webs.
Hairy curtain crust, a common and year-round bracket fungus which grows on dead wood. These were on a fallen log in Bantock Park.
