Carrion crow on the grass of Compton Park, head tilted back as it was cawing full-throatedly. Then it flew up with another, landed in a tree, and carried on calling out at top volume.

A visit to West Park, early on a Sunday morning. Walking the footpath around the lake, there was a section where several coots were sitting, looking relaxed, either on the tarmac of the path or the nearby grassy area. Most, including this bird, stayed where thy were even when someone passed right by them.

Small group of marsh marigolds as they were just beginning to open. The final picture was taken one day later than the others.

Gull on a grassy area under Exeter city walls, stomping the ground to bring worms to the surface, looking like it’s dancing.

Snail crossing the damp tarmac a road, early in the morning after overnight rain.

Magpie high in one of the trees by West Park boating lake, looking about attentively.
