Distant views of a great spotted woodpecker hunting ants on an otherwise deserted playing field in Shottery on the outskirts of Stratford on Avon.

Collared earth star fungi seen on the same walk. One set growing by the footpath across the South Staffordshire Golf Club, Tettenalll. The others growing in a front garden near Newbridge.

Ducks at Northycote Farm taking a quick bath in their drinking water on frosty morning recently.

Unidentified species of small bracket fungi with wavy edge. growing on a tree stump by the path along the Penk at Perton.

Wren on the shoreline of the Smestow by the Newbridge entrance to the Smestow Valley LNR. At first I thought it was taking a drink. Then I zoomed in to focus on it. Now I saw it was turning over the fallen leaves, I guess looking for insects hidden underneath.
