Teazles from the poolside vegetation patch by the Compton Park pool, finally beginning to flower.

Square-headed wasp – subtribe Crabronina, resting on a lichen-covered tree trunk, West Park.

A random selection of unripe berries, fruits and nuts I’ve come across on my exercise walks in the last few weeks.

Small white butterfly, very enthusiastically feeding on alkanet flowers.

It’s ow about the height of the ragwort flowering season. Here flower buds still closed, buds opening, and flowers fully open.

Canada goose goslings on West Park lake growing uop fast. From a distance they now look like adults at first glance. Closer inspection shows they are still smaller, with traces still of down in their plumage.
