Swan putting on the brakes as it came in to land on the river at the Exeter Quays recently.

Bluebells from a small group growing by a roadside. Some were white – a strong indication that they were garden escapee Spanish bluebells.

A group of bar-tailed godwits, taking a pause on their spring migration and feeding on the water’s edge at Penzance in late March.

The pond in Compton Park, created four or five years ago, is gradually choking with advancing vegetation. This includes several patches of marsh marigolds, with bright flowers every spring showing their membership of the buttercup family.

Pipit, possibly meadow pipit, disappearing over the ridge of the roof of a seafront building, perhaps taking a pause while on migration.
