Tightly pressed clump of puffball fungi. These were growing by the footpath along the Penk at Perton.

Robin perched on the top of a sapling, balancing on one foot as the other leg is pressed against its chest.

Lichens on the Barley Field blackthorns; the twigs and the lichens lightly frosted early one morning.

Canada geese on West Park lake – despite the thick mist, they had spotted someone scattering a handful of grain by one of the paths.

They took off in some numbers, rushing to get to the grain first. A flock of pigeons were nearer, and beat the geese. But there was still plenty to eat when they did land.

Primroses flowering in January: these were in the churchyard at Albrighton.

Swan swimming low, splashing the water all over its feathers in preparation for having a good clean.
