Growing in a front garden by a main road, with ground level inside the garden wall conveniently at waist height, troops of tiny and delicate-looking common bonnet mycenae.

Brown rat by the lake at Perton, at the spot where young children are often brought to feed the ducks and geese. Its companion disappeared as soon as it noticed me there, but this one carried on looking for crumbs.

Like many other creatures, rats seemed to get a lot bolder during lockdown one in the spring. Unlike many others, they seem to have kept up the habit.

Verdigris mushroom growing by the footpath in Compton Rough. The green colour much faded, washed away by rain.

Pair of jackdaws on a tv aerial, before one decided to fly off.

Ripe crabs apples on one of the trees at the back of Compton Lock.

Glistening ink caps, quite common growing in thight clumps near or on dead trees or stumps. Pictures show them at different stages of aging.
