Spring coming early at the end of February, narcissi already in full flower. These were by the Penk at Perton.

Swan, swimming wings raised in a threat posture on West Parkboating lake on a misty morning. A wider view shows four swans in this stance, with no sign of a foe being confronted, as the Conservatory forms a ghostly background.

Two views of the same patch of crocuses, growing in front garden, on the same day. Flowers closed, seen minutes after dawn. Flowers wide open, the middle of a sunny afternoon.

Lesser black backed gull on the shore of West Park’s boating lake island, eating away at the remains of a pigeon.

Cones just beginning to form, nestling in a surround of long, long needles.

Tufted ducks and shovellers, not doing much other that swimming on West Park lake, and perhaps having an occasional preen.
